Pattern router bit
What happens here
After the initial pass, adjust the router's depth setting to plunge the bit a little deeper into the material. Repeat the routing process, carefully guiding the router along the template, ensuring the bearing stays in constant contact with the template's edge. The presenter indicates that he will perform a third pass to fully cut through the material. This technique of multiple shallow passes prevents the router from overheating and damaging the wood or the bit.
Goal: Complete the full depth of the cut by repeating routing passes.
