| Registered User |  Aluminium I need to open a 1/4" slot down the 60 inch length of a light wall aluminium square tube. I was going to use a solide carbide spiral bit with the router mounted in the table. Does anyone have suggestions or experience with such abuse of a router? |

| Router King Supreme Forum King  | You will not be abusing the router or bit. Keep the speed well below 10,000 rpm and a very slow rate of feed. You'll be very happy with the results.

| Registered User New Member | Put duct tape along the al. prior to routing. Saw this idea on the net somewhere for use when using a cutoff saw on aluminium and it made a huge difference to the amount of swarf left on the edges after the cut. Cheers.........Sean
