Troubleshooting

Cutter is not cutting cleanly

Ensure the cutter is sharp. If dull, it may need replacement. Check that the router speed is appropriate for the material and that the cutter is inserted to the correct depth.

Excessive vibration during use

Verify the shank is fully and securely seated in the collet. Ensure the cutter is not bent or damaged. Check that the router itself is functioning correctly.

Material tear-out or chipping

Reduce the depth of cut per pass. Ensure the material is properly supported. For laminated materials, a sharp cutter and a slower feed rate can help minimize chipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the Erbauer Straight Router Cutter, ensure your router is unplugged. Insert the 6.35mm shank firmly into the router's collet and tighten securely according to your router's manual. This cutter is compatible with any router that accepts a 1/4" (6.35mm) shank. Always ensure the router speed is appropriate for the material being cut.

Store the cutter in its original packaging or a protective case to prevent damage to the cutting edges. Avoid exposing the cutter to moisture to prevent rust.
