    just checked what i'd been using, turns out it's a 3/4" one, about 19mm. i suspect i need to sharpen it, i'd used to to flatten a few sq ft of end grain of elm.

    might not just be the puny human, they may be designed for an expensive, powerful router, and could be too much work for a domestic one?

    i am going to have to look up what a CNC levelling bit looks like! i suspect i know what it is, and there'd be no difference between a CNC version and a 'normal' version. i use a standard one with what i guess is called the bottom cut feature like this one; worth noting that this place is worth...

    Minor Musical Observations

    more of a question than an observation; what's the most common title shared by well-known songs? i can't think of too many with more than three examples; e.g. 'gloria' by them, 'gloria' by patti smith, 'gloria' by U2, and 'gloria' by laura branigan. and you could argue the toss on the patti...
