You can make a very simple jig to attach to a router that will solve the above problem.

If you want quick, easy, professional results, the best jig I know of is the one created by Larrivee and apprentices, currently sold here as a kit: http://www.canadianluthiersupply.com...ts/binding-jig
You've described the process that has been the quickest and most accurate for me, but it still isn't quick or easy!
