Application

1. Clamping: Insert the router bit fully into the suitable 1/2-inch collet and tighten securely.
2. Milling: Set the desired milling depth, firmly fix the workpiece, and guide the router bit with an even feed rate.
3. Check: After milling, inspect the profile and, if necessary, perform an additional fine cut.

Pro tip: For hardwoods such as oak or beech, it is recommended to make several shallower milling passes instead of one deep pass. This can contribute to a clean surface and reduce stress on the router bit.
