OK, I have a Hitachi M12V router and a few 1/2 collar bits and I've read several books about routers and jigs. However, the books focus mostly on router tables, jigs, and bit definitions with very little info on actual usage.
Are there speed setting charts, references, or suggestions? Common sense dicates that bigger bits should have lower speed setttings than small ones (as with DP).
How much material can I safely remove per pass when using chamfer, cove, rabbet, etc.? Obviously wood type/density and router power are factors.
What's the difference/advantage using straight bits (1/4, 1/2) versus using spiral upcut bits?
Am I asking too much 8-O
