Example, if you take 4 , ˝ straight router bits ( which going by the book) would require a slightly lower than highest setting and run these at steady speed each through Mahogany, walnut, oak and dreaded mdf , You would get completely different results.
Hence, type of material + feed rate = proper speed setting taking into consideration the bit size.
Everyone knows that you can’t swing a 3 inch router bit at max speed. |
Ok, let's take this from another direction. I'm cutting a ˝" rabbit. As I begin the cut, the chips fly out the end of the rabbit and all of a sudden it stops. I finish the cut and look at the results and I have chips jammed tightly in the groove. Is this normal, correct?
Any time I've watched the Rosenthals, this is what I think I saw. My memory is a bit rusty.
Conversely, it is not a good idea to start the cut and back out to clear the chips.
