Can you use a bowl bit for juice grooves.?

I use a bowl bit quite regularly, it works great! Three caveats Turn down the RPM on the router… like all the way down. They aren’t supposed to spin too fast They plunge pretty poorly, so set your plunge speed quite low (say 5 ipm) They are large and not super great for removing a lot of material at the same time, so keep F&S reasonable, something like 0.04" DOC with a 25-35ipm feedrate or so. (if you feel the F&S are low… well, look at a high speed 1/4" endmill shape, with angled flutes aim…
