Moving the tool forward too fast may cause a poor quality of cut, or damage t o the bit
or motor. Moving the tool forward too slowly may burn and mar the cut. The proper
feed rate will depend on the bit size, the kind of workpiece and depth of cut. Before
beginning the cut on the actual workpiece,

in the feed direction. This will help to keep
it
