Pro-Tip: To extend the life of your flush trim bit and prevent burning, never try to trim off more than 1/8" of material at a time. Use a jigsaw or band saw to rough-cut your material close to the template line first. This leaves just a small amount of stock for the router bit to shave off, ensuring a cleaner finish and less strain on your router.
