Pro-Tip: When using a flush trim bit for pattern work, the quality of your finished piece is directly dependent on the quality of your template. Ensure your template edge is perfectly smooth and free of bumps or divots, as the bearing will transfer even the slightest imperfection from the template directly to your workpiece.
