Getting ready to do my counters with soapstone and I’m not sure if I should use fluted bits or spiral bits for staightedging the slabs?
Thanks

Got a varible speed router?..use a SINGLE flute carbide, slow down the rpm's to 1/4 from slowest..light passes, get xtra bits.
An airpowered router lets ya use water as dust wetter and coolant..but you probly dont have that. You can however spray mist with a little water, and not soak the motor, and it helps with keeping the dust out of the armature.
Fun stuff to work..depending on where it is from.
