    Alignment or What?

    I notice this only when I do a pocket or facing the table, but it seems like some type of alignment is slightly off. I'm also thinking it could just be a result of the way end mills are made.
    It's only a slight very thin line but I'm wondering why it's only on the top of the cut, even smaller on the bottom, and not on the left, only a shadow on the right(means I can't feel it )
    Any Idea's?? I'm pretty sure the routers very level and this was a real soft cut into a cutting board to test and put a picture here.
    This was a 3/8ths end mill but it happens with the 1" for the table facing also.

    Thanks in advance.

    I would start by making sure the end mill/bit is perpendicular to the table. If it isn't, one side of the cut is higher than the other depending on which way the end mill is tipped.

    Thanks Don, I was looking at that a little last night and I think some adjustments are in order.
