Also,this bit is more forgiving of any grain issues and will not pull the stock into the bit as you surmise. Not so important for thicker stock but, as stated, I've trimmed stock to about 0.2 mm. For thicker work you could use a router bit but make it a spiral that pulls the stock toward the router. The spiral bit would probably work for your application, I'd recommend a 1/4" diameter. | |

This is like a miniature surface planer with non-marring pressure rollers :) What is the importance of using a carbide burr instead of say, a conventional carbide straight bit? Does it perhaps reduce the tendency of the bit to deflect/pull the stock into the blade? | |
