I will give it a try, I know if I go to slow it starts to melt it. I wish you could automate the feed rate :-)

I went out and bought a spiral up-cut bit from Freud. It seems to do a much better job.. very smooth.. I am going really slow as well...

Megadream is into routers and wants to help out?

The best solid carbid bit I have found was the Onsrud upcut spiral. Since you are using a table, a bit with a flush trim bearing is useful for template cutting.

Good to know the upcut spiral bits do the trick. I had been considering giving the up/down cut bits a try.

yeah, the freud up-spiral cut bit is fantastic.. love it to "bits" :-)

I am not having fun trying to do 90 degree cuts..... the piece wants to slide on me and it is never perfect. Anyone have any tips on that?

90 degree cuts? Like trimmer after welding two pieces at a 90 ??

My advice if anything is slipping, is buy a bunch of clamps! I use the cheap import type bar clamps for my projects. Otherwise hire a friend with good grip!

Also for the record I use a Freud 10" x 80 tooth acrylic and plastics blade for straight cuts on a table saw. It is amazing how clean it will cut
