Setup and test cut
- Confirm that the router or spindle accepts the listed shank and provides the required collet engagement.
- Check the planned cut width, depth, workholding and base clearance before starting the machine.
- Use the machine and cutter supplier limits for speed, feed and cutting depth because this listing does not publish those values.
- Make a shallow test cut in matching scrap, then check the recess size, flatness, edge and chip clearance.
