I am new to the forum and have been searching for using a router table with knotty alder. I am going to be making a large frame (4x4) using knotty alder wood. I am brand new to routing. I have a bosch router and router table. I am struggling getting through the small knots in the alder wood. Are there any tips? These are not loose knots. I am using this bit: CMT 855.902.11 Molding Bit, 1/2-Inch Shank, 1-1/16-Inch Diameter, Carbide-Tipped.
Any help or links to help would be great. I cannot seem to find much searching online for knots. One forum will say avoid knots altogether, another says the bit should have no problem with knots.
