Bill,
Why didn't I think of that? I set a piece of MDF on the lower
rails and lowered the bit to just touch it. I took a flashlight to the
backside and there is about .002-.003 inch gap on one side. To clarify,
the bit is the Magnate 2704, the lower rails were verified to be exactly
parall
the best way, in my opinion, to turn this on a legacy, is to have the
carriage moving and at the same time the spindle is turning...and if the
spindle is not turning fast enough, yes, you will get a spiral line...but
for a clean-as-possible piece, increase the spindle rpm as much as
possible, d
Yes, I'm finding out that the trial and error method makes things better.
The most recent process was:
bit depth set to take off about 1/32 ".
The carriage is set to 1/2" to the rear of center.
Turn on the router and move the carriage about 1/2" along the x axis.
Rotate the work piece slowly.

Now you guys are using magnate bits right only those are ground dead flat on
the bottom other brands leave that line.
Put a strait piece of stock in the mill and bring the bit down till it nearly
touches and use some feeler gauges and see if its the same thickness each side
of the router bit t
Jim,
Just to cover all the basics, have you seen this?

I have the exact same results with my 1200 LOM. I believe it has do with
the router not being exactly perpendicular to the rotating stock. The side
that has the ridge requires to be shimmed up. By that, I mean placing shim
stock between the router and the router sled. I will be working on th
