FEED SPEED
The speed at which the router is moved along the workpiece must not be so
fast that it causes the motor to slow down, or too slow that the bit starts to
leave burn marks on the timber.
The proper feed rate to use depends on the bit size, the material being cut,
the depth of the cut and the speed selected.
Practice judging the feed speed on scrap timber by listening to the router
during use.
MOULDING NATURAL TIMBERS
Always mould the end grain of natural timber first. This will ensure that any
breakout is removed when the long grain is routed.

down on the two handles to
