It is climb cutting; you may try putting a couple layers of masking tape on the plywood. Each layer is about .005 of an in inch 2 layers would hold your router off .01 of an inch. Peel the tap off and take your finish cut. You could add more layers if needed.

These videos are awesome. Thanks for spending the time planning, recording, editing..... I have a question though: Is the back-routing (climb-cutting) technique needed because the bit is cutting against the grain? Can you do a full cut if the bit is cutting with the grain?

@aghorash It is all about chip exhaust. When you back cut you are removing almost all the material before one final cleaning pass. I always do it on edge work even if the grain appears to be running in the proper direction for one pass. I always get a cleaner cut doing it. I want that final pass to be very fine without the exhausted chips getting blown right into the advancing cut.

@attainableapex I have never heard that term, but it would make sense. We may have to get you to guest post a video, you sound very knowledgeable. Keep up the feedback and thanks for the new term. I struggle with the best words and phrases.

@turnercarl The green 27mm hose comes with a vacuum. I bought the grey 36mm 5m hose as an added accessory and have been very happy with it. Only very occasionally do I feel an slight charge in the hose if I am really plowing through course chipped router work. It has not been a problem. The grey hose is also a lot more pliable than the green so easier to handle. And It was substantially cheaper. Thanks for writing Carl. Allan
