Carving Tips
Three Things That Decide the Result
Rough, then detail
Remove the bulk with a large ball nose or roughing bit first. Small cutters are for detail, not material removal.
Mind the grain
Cutting across the grain with a dull cutter tears fibres. Climb milling and sharp geometry keep the surface clean.
Control the chipload
Too slow and the cutter rubs and burns the wood. Keep the feed rate in range and let the tool cut.
