| Registered User New Member |  cutting depth I have to make a series of slots in 3/4 " material (pine) about 5-1/2 long all way through. I plan on a 3/4 " bit however can this be done in one slow pass or two?  |

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King  | Hi Grandasworkshop I don't see why not BUT it's one of those things you need to just try out  If your bit is new and sharp it should be duck soup but if not it will take a pass or two. Pine is soft but will dull the bit real quick with build up of pine pitch. A good spray Teflon base bit lub or a good bit cleaning will help with Pine. http://www.mailwareweb.com/sommerfel...2d2oz&d=99&b=2 http://www.mailwareweb.com/sommerfel...d16oz&d=99&b=1 Bj

| Senior Moderator Supreme Forum King  | Two passes in pine should make for a nice clean cut. For hardwoods stick to a 1/4" removed in a single pass for quality.
