How do I clean the router cutter?

Use a specialized router bit cleaner or a solvent designed for removing resin. Be sure to clean after each use.

What safety precautions should I take?

Always wear safety glasses and a dust mask. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped. Do not overfeed the cutter, and always follow the router's operating instructions.

Troubleshooting

Cutter is not cutting cleanly.

Check the cutter's sharpness. Replace if dull. Ensure the feed rate is appropriate for the material and the router speed is correct.

Cutter is burning the wood.

Reduce the feed rate, increase the router speed, or check for resin build-up on the cutter and clean it.

The cutter vibrates excessively.

Ensure the cutter is securely installed in the collet. Check the router bearings and replace if needed. Reduce the cutting depth per pass.

Cutter won't fit into the router.

Verify that the router has a 1/4in collet and that the cutter shank is not damaged or bent.
