Weekly Tip • Proper Feed and Speed Check

After you are finished cutting your material, run a "Cool Tool" test by checking the temperature of the tool.

Weekly Tip • Which feed direction is best for cutting wood?

The feed direction for a router bit should be conventional for most applications. This will provide the best finish.

If you are cutting wood where multi-directional grain patterns have to be considered, it is often necessary to use climb cutting to reduce splintering.
