Any 'Got-ya's when Routing Laminated Particle Board?
I'm making my a small benchtop router table and I bought a piece of 35mm thick Laminated benchtop to use for the top.
I thought I'd use my 9060 cnc Router to cut out for the Router Plate. ( 299 x 235mm? ).
I will only get one shot at this, so I was wondering if there is anything I should or shouldn't do when doing this?
Plan is to Machine a 10mm deep cutout for the plate and a smaller hole for the router to fit.
A Google saw mention of a Compression Spiral Router Bit, to prevent tear-out . Is that necessary or will other bits work ok? Is tear-out likely?
I was thinking of using a surfacing bit ( like below ), to cut out the plate section and just a 6mm 2 straight flute cutter for the cut out . Good idea or not?
