What causes it? Is it techinque, dull or type of cutter, species of wood, or router speed/feed rate???
Here's my senerio: 1/2" bearing guided round-over on Purpleheart with a 1/4" shank Skil bit, that I have had for a while. DW 618 router in table, speed set at 3-4 range.
I was making multiple passes anticipating problems. The first light pass took out a hunk :crybaby2: Luckly the next two passes almost smoothed out the divot. What was I doing wrong? Or am I just doomed for working with Purpleheart???
