Preventing/Removing Burn Marks From A Router! EthAnswers

Ethan Shows his preferred method for removing burn marks on his router. Usually this happens by running the wood through your bit to slowly. Enjoy the video!

Thanks, Ethan. Get tip. But I already have burn marks that I need to remove w/o altering the profile.

That second buffer plastic fence is a brilliant idea. Saved having to measure the router fence twice, especially if you have multiple pieces to profile 👍

Thanks, I used the technique with a hand held compact router, taking a little at a time- no burn!

Great tip, thanks for the info! Is it best to speed up the router to as fast as itll go? And would it be same for wood/resin hybrid pieces? Thanks!

Great idea with plastic fence
Whatched a couple of videos on burning and nobody mentioned it

How can you do multiple passes like that with a hand/palm router?

[Myrkskog]

I feel like such a donk - I'm sure I was taught that a slow pass is better for burn (a lack of). Next time I'm taking that last pass, I'm whipping the sucker across. Cheers, boss!

What is a Panel Pilot Bit used for/how is it used, please?

I can't do this with a cross cut, cut specially with 2  1/4 radius. I tried slowing it down, faster and pulling back and forward again and still burning. lol

I slow the speed down a bit also in my
