Routing - What Did I Do Wrong?

[Orclord]

Well I masturbate at approx 200 strokes  a minute.....

Average time 5 mins...So that's 1000 strokes.....Moving approx 3 inches/750mm of skin...

So that's 250 feet/76.2M of skin being battered....

Not one friction burn......

Not to say it can't happen though......

I'm just careful....

I can't remember if my dynamics book had a friction coefficient for skin. If you had that, you could calc some really cool numbers. 

Hmmm....

That would probably add a chapter.....

Friction coefficient of skin whilst masturbating......"Eau naturel"..... like me......

Or with added lubricants...

The viscosity of such lubricants would have to included into the equation.......

Plus the temperature of course......Butter tends to change......






Needless to say if it's been  a few weeks....... I, like you, wear safety glasses.....

Just in case.....

You never know what's gonna catch your eye...........

let's be honest here...

with so much open detailed information like that...

it has _never_ been a few weeks...

This is a ---fouled up beyond all recognition--- up thread.

There is (was?) a picture of the proper assembly of a slot cutter in the wiki. I know that I posted it somewhere. If it is assembled backwards, you will get lots of burning and smoke. That is probably what happened. I'll find a pic, and toss it in here.

For the poster that mentioned that you need to make multiple passes, that does not apply to a slot cutter. Unless you rig up some sort of guide to hold the router away from the edge of the surface your slotting, this particular bit cuts full depth by nature of design. Slot cutting in MDF should be effortless with a narrow slot bit.

As far as the carbide argument goes... wear your safety gear, inspect your cutting tools regularly, keep the pitch and buildup cleaned off your blades, and just concentrate on not getting carbide flung in your general direction at any speed. Mmmmmkay?

This thread has a pic of the proper assembly of the cutter and the relationship of cutter direction to router.
