Palm vs Full Size
Worn bearings are not for fine detail work; shaft has runout and is floating
Patterns and fine detail work need top quality bearings for longevity
- Larger routers are great for cleanouts with flat bits.
- Use the bigger routers for larger 1/4 and all 1/2 in shank bits
Standard backgrounds use 90 Deg. for cleanout. 90 is also used for outset and very large inset letter cleanouts.
- Work from the center out to support 1/2 of the base resting on a flat surface
Chuck the bit at about 1/2" to keep the motor away from the base.
- Keep Bits Clean
- Gunk spray removes resins and pitch
- Use a dremmel brass brush - chuck bit in the router (unplugged) to hold it still
