wrote in message ups.com... I need to dado a 3/4" width and 3/8" depth in oak plywood. I will be using a 3/4" carbide tip straight bit with a 1/2" shank. Can I do this in one pass? What speed should I set my router? I've routed 3/4 X 3/8 deep in one pass many times. My router is a DeWalt 618. I've left mine on the highest speed and plowed through as the router would take it. I've also done it in two passes. I guess it depended on how much of a hurry I thought I was in or if I was feeling gutsy or something. Try a scrap. If it does not route through well then reduce the depth of cut and do it in two passes. If you're really concerned about router speed - read your manual. What does it suggest? What does it suggest for depth of cut? Both of these questions can well be answered by the information found in most router manuals. It does pay to read the manual. -- -Mike- |
