8. How to stop the tear out if not going around the corner?

9. I could not see clearly, was that using a cutter with a roller that runs along part of the edge that is not being machined?

10. Question : How do you start the corner? Or, do you start a bit away from the corner and then get the untrimmed corner as you come around the last corner? Wow!! Hope that made sense. Thanks for the help. This was awesome.

23. Thanks for the freehand demo. Here is my trial with success. A trim router of 1.25 amp with round over bit takes several trims to get the desired shape. Multiple trims a guide, set distance from center of bit to the edge of router base, is a must for straight line. Hope this help small router application.

31. Great video! Thank you for showing me how to use my router. On other tutorials though they mention making multiple passes with a 1/2 groundcover bit but it looks like you did it in one. When do you recommend, if you do, that I make multiple passes lowering the bit as I go? Thank you again!

32. HI colin great tutorial and thank you for sharing,I would like to ask, when setting the bit in the router and you give it that little distance away from the collet how do you stop the bit from dropping down while you tighten up the collet.
