I saw a great hint just yesterday on how to deal with this if you are following a template. Rout up to to the point where you had the problem and then stop. Change from a flush trim bit to a top bearing pattern bit. Then flip the piece with template still attached onto it's other side. When you do the direction of feed is reversed so that you will be routing the other way to finish that spot.
Avoiding tear out at end of cut.
Hello All,
I'm working on a set of picture frames and have a concern about tear-out as the bit finishes it's cut. Imagining that I could add a stop and flip the piece over to avoid the blow-out on the exit?
It's a straight cut 1/4" deep and I'm using a 1/2" bit right now. I have lots of scrap pieces to experiment with before I hit the real frames.
How would you approach this cut?I've attached what I'm going for and what I want to avoid.
Thx, Chris
