Hey there- I wonder how you might deal with the following problem. I want to rout a slot for table top connectors,"z-clips", cross grain in veneered plywood- that is, cross grain to the face veneer. When doing so I got terrible tearout in the veneer. I tried taping the area with masking tape, and doing a very light scoring cut (which helped some, but not enough) Any suggestions?
Thanks very much,
Michael
