How To Remove Router Burn Marks - WOOD magazine

[@ecrusch]

Another reason Wood magazine is my favorite publication on woodworking. Thank you.

Great! Now my brain is trying to figure out how much time I've wasted sanding out burnt edges instead out cutting off a hair and routing again. Great tips.

Great tip! Thanks, Bob.

Great tips. I've been using a sandblaster or a wire brush, but the shave technique is better.

[@gregmarquis1886]

Thank you so much. Why I never thought of that I'll never no.

One of those "why didn`t I think of that before" tips.

I have burns in a deep area that I routed out with a bead bit. Tried sanding of course but that doesn't really work and is way to cumbersome since we are talking about many yards here.. I was thinking that maybe Caustic Soda could take care of it, bleach it off so to speak.. Anyone tried that?

Guess when I use my router, I'll make two passes then. One every so slightly higher, and then ever so slightly lower to remove the burn... This is genius... Why haven't I thought of this! :|

Paint in black best solution

[@WOODMAN_pt]

Or I always used to say: paint in black and throw it away.

[@MrZOMBIE170]

If you do it on all 4 sides it will make it smaller.
