Warning: Make sure the router bit is properly fastened and tightened in the router’s collet and the bit can rotate freely without any obstructions.
Instructions: Slowly dial up the RPMs on your router to the recommended maximum. Then, dial back if needed to find the “sweet spot”. The sweet spot is the speed at which the least resonant vibration is present. If the sweet spot cannot be achieved within 5,000 RPMs of the max, check the collet for residue or other debris and start over.

Flush trim template router bits work great in your router table and handheld router. Secure your template to the top face of the work for handheld operations, or to the bottom face of the work when using a router table. It's very convenient to have at least a couple of flush trim bits in different sizes. 1/4" and 1/2" diameters make a good combination.
