I made a new page for template routing utilizing two bits (top and bottom
bearing). This is a technique that I learned here on the wrec.
Comments/suggestions for improving the content? I am going to be modifying
(hopefully improving) the page as time goes on.

i have had some pretty big chuncks fly off from routing grain up-hill. I'm
sick of having to deal with it and the risk is always there. It also can be
DANGEROUS. It can grab the grain and pull the piece from you. Much safer
doing it this way.
No trouble to change a bit. No card scraper needed.

Yeah you're right, it would take more time. So maybe I should be satisfied
if some of the five have huge chunks missing. <G>
I'd rather spend the time changing bits than repairing (scraping, sanding,
etc.) a few pieces.

When I read this, something hit me, so I went back and re-read your
page. When you change the bit, and flip the piece, you're effectively
just routing in the other rection. Next time, rather than going thru
that, just try feeding the piece in the opposite direction - which will
effectively accomplish what you do by changing bits and flipping the
piece. Works for me.

Never tried MDF, I use 1/2" plywood. I 'have' found out I prefer
two pieces glued together for my masters.

And I wouldn't do it like either one of you. You use what works,
and you're comfortable with.

I hear ya'!

I climb cut, or take short "nibbles" in the area where the grain is
oriented wrong. If the stock is pre-trimmed well, climb cutting is
not a big deal at all, otherwise, it's You Tube material.

Great pics! And since you asked for comments and suggestions, here's my
offering:
- show a "before" photo that depicts the tear out when routing against the
grain
- show an "after" photo that illustrates the result of using your technique
Great job! I'm sure it will be helpful to "newbies".
Cheers.

Do five of the same part and get back to us. <G>

Easier to just have another router table.

I think the original poster did a fine job of answering my question.
I've haven't been unhappy with the result from my router bits so
that's why I asked. I'll keep his suggestion in mind when I come to
that crossroad. Based on my experience I'd cut 5 with a pattern bit,
gang them with a couple of quick clamps and give a scrape or two. A
sharp scraper works great on tearout. I've never had "chunks" break
off but I'm sure with certain woods it's more of a problem.
