Pro-Tip

When routing large architectural profiles like entry doors with a 1/2-inch shank bit, it is crucial to take multiple shallow passes rather than attempting one deep cut. Lower the RPM on your variable speed router to accommodate the wide 1-7/8-inch diameter, and use a steady, consistent feed rate. This minimizes tear-out in your end grain, reduces strain on your router motor, and ensures perfectly clean joints for your custom doors.
