unplug the router, insert the bit into a 6 mm collet, and tighten the collet securely. Set a shallow cutting depth initially so only the bearing engages. Align the bearing with your template and gradually feed the workpiece for a consistent pass, keeping the bearing riding along the template.

Best suited for wood, plywood, laminate, and veneer. It’s not recommended for metals or non-wood materials. Ensure the work surface is stable and clamped before trimming.

Keep the cutting edges clean and free of resin buildup, sharpen or replace when worn, and store the bit in its protective case to prevent damage. Avoid overheating by using appropriate feed rates and multiple shallow passes when needed.

Wear eye and hearing protection, secure the workpiece, unplug the router before changing bits, use push blocks or mafts to keep hands away, and maintain a firm, controlled feed to prevent kickback.

Pattern copying and edge finishing along templates, flush trimming laminate or veneer to match profiles, and shaping edges to achieve clean, precise results on wood-based materials.
