Practical applications Template routing: Follow a template to reproduce identical parts for cabinetry, jigs, or decorative trim with accurate edges. Laminate and veneer work: Trim laminate countertops, veneer sheets, and edge banding flush to the substrate for a clean finish. Profile and molding trimming: Flush-trim moldings or excess material on routed profiles to achieve a smooth, finished appearance. Usage and compatibility notes Use with routers or trim tools that accept a 1/4" shank. Ensure correct collet tightening and appropriate router speeds for the material being cut. Ideal for wood, laminates, and other common workshop materials—select cutting speed and feed rate appropriate to the workpiece. For repeatable, professional results, pair with a steady template or guide and take light passes when finishing delicate veneers or thin materials.
