I'm going to use a Bosch Colt router and flush trim bit to trim the front and back sound boards on my Baritone. I'm confused about the direction of cut.
One instruction says to trim in a clockwise direction. Another instruction says to do clockwise 'climb cuts' at the tops of the bouts and finish off with a counter-clockwise direction around the whole body to avoid tear-outs.
My understanding is when using a router the recommended direction is to go counter-clockwise for best results. I'm confused.
