Pro-Tip: To achieve a flawless finish on ornamental triple beads, take multiple light passes rather than one heavy cut. This prevents "tear-out" in difficult grain and minimizes the need for sanding in the tight radii of the beads. When fluting vertical columns, ensure your router is moving in a consistent direction and maintain firm pressure against your guide fence to keep the flutes perfectly straight.
