How to best sand moldings? Also what's the best way to route moldings
across
the grain in pine to minimize chipping?

Two passes. One ~3/32" shy of final, which can be done with a plexi fence
cover. Remove cover for final.

I tried all kinds of router speeds,
feed slower, feed faster but all profiles across the grain are far from
ideal. Along the grain they turn to be perfect and need not sending. I use
router table.


Other thing I've found helpful, Sasha, is to clean the bit after, giving it
a touch-up on the faces with a 400-grit diamond paddle after cleaning.
Means I'm ready to cut when impatience is highest.
