   What is the maximum size of bit to be used with laminate trimmer router 23000rpm ? I would like to do a circular maze and my regular router is too big to root small circles.

     Hi Robert,

     Thank you for being patient while I asked the experts, here is the reply:

     Hi Robert,
     I’d suggest a 2 HP unit at a minimum, and a 3 HP dust collector would be better.
     Yes, George is an Eagle Scout.

   How do you “finish” or deal with your live edges on your boards? Remove bark? , etc.

     Hi Paul,

     Thank you for being patient while I reached out to the expert, here is the reply:

     I usually cut the live edge straight using a jig saw or band saw. If you want to leave it as a live edge, you will have to decide whether you want to remove the bark or leave it on. Either way is ok, but a little of each is not a good look.
