a problem ive run into here and there is, sometimes when cutting the outline of a part out, the router will fling it when its done..
or in the case of tonight...randomly decide to break the part in half! im going to guess a combo of vibration and crap wood...
for double sided parts usually i cut alittle of the outlining profile on the top side, then all the way through on the bottom side and leave one edge for last...at which the machine rapid back and fourth giving me plenty of time and room to gently remove the part once its free
i have milled from both sides and tried to do the "tabs"...with mixed results. or simply leave .05" and razor blade it out...then sand the sharp stuff off.
So whats the "proper" way? what if im only routing one side? seems tonight no matter what i did, ended in busted up parts...so seriously cleaning and such will commense tomorrow.
