Honestly saw a video where a guy said to run your router a bit faster than you think with figured wood. Tbh it helps the bit slice instead of rub. Ngl I stick with Freud too, their bits just seem to last longer in my experience.

Oh please, if it was that easy we wouldn't have so many botched DIY jobs. That "slap it down" method is how you get a permanent lumpy mess.

Seth_shah is right about the gamble, my universal charger is basically a fire hazard I keep in my bag. I bought it in a panic at an airport once and it gets weirdly hot. I should probably just get a real one.

My old forge taught me heat control matters most.

My three episode rule saved me from that terrible show last month.
