Tips for best results
- Secure your workpiece and use a stable setup—router table or a solid handheld rig with a firm fence.
- Make shallow passes: establish the ogee shape first, then perform a light finishing pass for a crisp edge.
- Maintain a steady feed rate and keep the bit cool to maximize tool life and cut quality.
- Match your router with a 1/4 in shank bit and a compatible collet for optimal stability.
- Test on scrap stock before committing to final workpieces to dial in depth and grain orientation considerations.
Maintenance and care
- Clean away dust and resin after use; store in the boxed packaging to protect the cutting edge.
- Keep the bit dry to prevent corrosion and inspect the carbide edge regularly for signs of dulling or chipping.
