How to Use an Edge-Trimming Router Bit
- 1). Unplug the router and mount the flush-trim bit in the collet.
- 2). Extend the bit far enough that the center of the bearing is at approximately the center of the edge of the workpiece.
- 3). Place the router's baseplate on the horizontal surface with the bit just alongside the edge.
- 4). Turn on the router and gently press the spinning bit against the exposed edge at the right end. Move the router left along the edge to trim the entire length.
