   I don't know why you would have a problem with burning a cove- that usually happens because of the sides of the teeth being in contact with the fresh cut. Making a cove is done with the tips and corners- there's no flat surfaces in contact at all. Plus, the blade doesn't need to hog out a lot of material and running it through after the last pass makes smoothing easier. A curved scraper with a good edge should work. If you want to make a form for sanding, a plastic bag filled with Bondo is a great thing.

             Cutting a cove with  the router sounds like a myth to me , I've never learned that method .

               The reason you might get burns coving on the TS could be a dull blade or taking too large a bite at one time . Excellent results can be achieved on the TS a small amount at a time .

          Cove cutting on the TS needs to be done very carefully , there is risk as in most any operation with power tools but this is one operation that's best not to rush .

                    good  luck               dusty

   I've cut a cove with a bit from Eagle America.   It worked just fine.   I used it with a single trough for a crown molding, and with two troughs to flute the face of a column.   It was clean enough to sand out by hand without even making a matching sanding block.
