Using a 1/4" diameter round nose bit to make flutes, should the depth be
set to 1/8" and the spacing between the flutes be equal to their width
(1/4") for best appearance?

Any recommendations for fading stopped flutes to a point if I don't have
gouges? I know how to fade beads on my moulder, but not how to
accomplish the same thing with the router table for consistency across
all the flutes.
