Bmth Builder Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Hey does any one have any experience routing Azobe wood? It seems to be a very dense, hard wood that would dull blades easily. If I used one of these and made very small cuts at a time would it be alright? http://www.axminster.co.uk/product-CMT-Mil...aring-33382.htm Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko_slash Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 I don't know very much about it, but give it a try! Just don't take too much wood in passes, go veeeery slowly, that's the rule for all high density woods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotYou Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 I've never worked with it, but it ranks on the janka scale near ebony and jatoba, which you can route with normal bits. They tend to dull blades a little fast, but it's not too serious. Just take small slow passes and it should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 CMT bits are great - as mentioned already, take it slowly. Also, don't let your cutter heat up too much as that will contribute to the dulling enormously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
