Hi all
Do router bits for blackwood need to be sharpened differently to the way they come "off the shelf"? Regardless of how lightly I make a cut I still have problems with the blackwood burning and major tearout. I'm using Carbatec 12mm pattern following and 12.5mm rounding over bits.
If there's a special way of sharpening them what do I need to specify when I take them in to be sharpened?
Any thoughts?
