Versatile Decorative Routing

Tips for Clean, Smooth Cuts

When creating deeper grooves or cove-style edges, multiple passes are recommended. Start with a shallow initial cut and gradually increase the cutting depth with each pass. This technique helps reduce strain on the router and bit while producing a cleaner finish.

For best results and to help prevent splintering or tear-out, use a controlled feed rate and avoid removing excessive material in a single pass. Proper setup and gradual cutting will help produce smooth, consistent results.
