Moving the
tool
forward
too
fast may cause
a
poor quality of cut, or damage to the bit
or motor. Moving the tool forward too slowly may burn and mar the cut. The proper
feed rate will depend on the bit
size,
the kind of workpiece and depth of cut. Before
beginning the cut on the actual workpiece,
it
is
advisable to make
a
sample cut on
a
piece of scrap lumber. This will show exactly how the cut will look
as
well
as
enable you
to check dimensions.
