Seeing as a lot of you guys like to use a flush cut bit in a router for various things I thought I would try it out. I made a nice foam-core door with Luan and 1 Xs and made the sheets a little oversize so that I could cut them flush with the router. Seems that luan doesn't like to be cut cross-grain very much and resulted in some minor or worse splintering. Since my luan roof was going to be trimmed all around (all cross grain due to 5.5 foot width) I am thinking that either this may not be a good idea, I had better come up with a new material for the roof or maybe, just maybe there is a handy-man's secret like masking tape or something that I don't know about. Anyone have a tip?
