The typical router runs \r\nat about 22,000 rpm, which is fine for most bits. But as the diameter of the bit \r\nincreases, you’ll want to slow things down. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAlso, before beginning any routing operation, be certain that you give the router's \r\nmotor time to come up to full speed for the chosen setting.
