Hi guys,
I'm in the process of veneering my speakers and I've hit a few problems that didn't occur on my test pieces. I'm using raw mahogany veneer (could not find wide enough backed veneer in UK!) and I'm using a normal flush trim router bit to trim the edges. The bit is new so it will be sharp, however, after trimming with the router I noticed a small amount of chipping along the edges and especially in the corners. Any ideas why this might happen or how to avoid it? Luckily its only happened on the back panels but I wanted to find out how to avoid this happening before continuing. I had the router set to a slow speed, is that right? Could it be that there was too much of an overhang? Some pictures attached to show what I mean.
Cheers guys,
Sam.
