Ogee Router
What is the danger of using a router bit labled as ‘router table only’ in a hand-held router?
I need to use an oversized ogee bit in my router to cut a detail in a round piece of MDF. All of the bits that fit the profile say ‘router table only’. I believe that MDF is soft enough to keep me from being killed.
You should be ok as long as you don’t try to take all the material out in one pass. Make multiple passes taking out a little at a time.
The problem is if you try to force the bit at one pass, the router could get away from you.
Remember to wear safety glasses!
