Hi Astrowood
Many things come into burning the plywood with router bits, feed rate,bit speed and sharp router bits......
You need all 3 working at the same time to keep the burn marks off the stock...it comes with time and trial and error most of the time...
The real key is don't stay in one spot to long...any bit that spins at high speed will put in burn marks...

I guess that that is not much of an introduction. I have been woodworking for 30 years, live on the East Coast of Canada - and am obsessed with making astronomy equipment. Hope to get some good information from you folks ! |
