18 PROPER FEEDING The right feed is neither too fast nor too slow. It is the rate at which the bit is being advanced firmly and surely to produce a continuous spiral of uniform chips. A feed to fast produces large, individual chips and a feed to slow creates sawdust. If you are making a small diameter, shallow groove in soft, dry wood, the proper f[...]

19 OPERA TION RATE OF FEED IMPORTANT: The “secret” of professional routing and edge shaping lies in making a careful set-up for the cut and in selecting the proper rate of feed. The proper rate of feed depends on several factors: the hardness and moisture content of the wood, the depth of cut, and the cutting diameter of the bit. When cutting s[...]

20 OPERA TION DEPTH OF CUT As previously mentioned, the depth of cut is important because it affects the rate of feed that, in turn, affects the quality of the cut (and, also, the possibility of damage to your router motor and bit). A deep cut requires a slower feed than a shallow one, and a too deep cut will cause you to slow the feed so much that[...]
