Compression Combination Pattern & Flush Trim Router Bit - 1/2 Shank - Solid Carbide

Ultra-Shear Compression Combination Pattern & Flush Trim Router Bit - 1/2 Shank - Solid Carbide

Pattern routing has three basic rules to ensure your safety and to achieve the best surface finish. 1) Feed into the rotation of the router bit. In general, on a router table that means feeding from your right to your left. 2) Cut downhill on any slope or curve along the edge grain of the wood. 3) Approach corners so you transition from edge grain to end grain rather than end grain to edge grain.  One sure way to guarantee you can follow these rules is to be prepared to work with your pattern both above and below your workpiece. On a simple rectangle as shown in the photos, two opposing corners are cut with the pattern on top. 

The other two opposing corners are cut with the pattern on the bottom. Just flip your project over, raise the bit until the shaft-side bearing engages the pattern and get right back to work. You'll get flawless cuts on all four quadrants with minimal risk of tear-out or catches.
