FEEDING SPEED AND RATE OF CUT

Variation between materials and bit configurations dictates a wide variety of feed rates. Experience is the best measure for determining feed rate. Become familiar with the sound and feel of the router by making practice cuts in scrap material.

The router bit rotates at a very high speed and may heat up if the router is moved too slowly through the wood and cause burn marks. Feeding the router too fast or trying to remove too much material in a single pass will overload the motor. Use two or more passes for extra-large cuts (over 1/8” deep), especially in hard woods.

HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE

When working on outside edges, move the tool counterclockwise (figure E). When working on inside edges, move the tool clockwise.

• Use pilot (ball bearing) router bits for edge profile cutting.

• Use HSS (high speed steel) router bits for softwood.

• Use TCT (tungsten carbide tipped) router bits for hardwood.

• Not recommended for plunge cutting.
