Cutter Bit Diameter Max_ Speed
Up to l-in,, (25mm) 6
1 1/4-1n, to 2-1n, (30-50ram) 4 - 5
2 1/4-1no to 2 112-1n, (55-65 ram) 2 - 3
3-In, to 3 1/2-tn, (75-90mm) I - 2
Reduce lhe speed when using extra forge t-{n, plus, or heavy cutter bits Changfng the
reuter'e rate of feed can also Improve the quality of the cut

and a_so by recommendations by manufacturers of cutter bits

PLACING THE ROUTER ONTO THE WORKPIECE AND STARTING THE CUT
NOTE: Making test cuts Is essential with most muting applications. Even with
careful set-ups you won't know exactly how the cut will go until you try It out.
A test cut will give you e feel for the set-up, the router's speed_ the depth of
cut and how the cutter bit reacts to the workplace.
Much of routing Is a trlaFand-arror process of making various adjustments,
followed by test cuts as you become familiar with your router's operational
abllitlesoTo avoid ruining good material, make your test cuts on scrap materials.
Placing your router onto a workptece (stadlng the cut) with a fixed base or a plunge
base, depends on lhe type of routing you are going to produce: Edge Routing or
internal Routing°
