Template Routing Basics (Pattern vs Flush-Trim)
This page provides standardized, specification-oriented reference information.
Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Pattern vs Flush-Trim | Placement of the bearing (top vs bottom) determines whether the template sits above or below the workpiece. |
| Grain Direction | Plan cuts to reduce tearout; consider climb-cutting only when appropriate and with caution. |
| Depth Strategy | Use multiple shallow passes rather than a single deep pass to reduce chatter and burning. |
