Problems with 5.56

Since I have installed 5.56 I'm having problems with dado. We always worked at 0.03 tolerance and now it's way too much, we got down to 0.015 but it does'nt seem to make any difference ???

Re: Router bits working their way out of collett

It happens to me this week but it's always when there's a lot of stress on the tool. I was cutting 1 3/4" solid maple, first pass at 1" depth and the tool was only 1/2" diameter and 4" long so it was probably vibrating cause it was not deep enough in the collet....I think that's ...

I will still use onion skin and might finish it with a downcut (regular) just to be sure parts hold down. Right now I was using courmatt CU-375-4...

Re: Solide arborite, 3/8" thick

That's great news ! The thing is that in one 4' x 8' sheet I have approximatly 50 pieces of 2 1/4" x 30" (average). So I understand that it's not the same thing than machining 2 table top a sheet, so I do not expect the tool to last 40 sheets but I would like to optimize. Thanks for your h...
