Router bit slipped mid-cut on a shelf and chewed the edge, so I tried a backer board
Was routing a 3/4 inch dado for a bookshelf last Saturday and the bit slipped and tore up about 2 inches of the board. I clamped a scrap piece behind the work piece so the bit had something to bite into on exit, and the next shelf came out clean. Does anyone run a backer on every pass or just when the grain gets squirrelly?
