Festool recommends fine-grained timber for smoother guidance. Choose timber and cutting depth carefully Fine-grained timber helps the router travel more evenly during script cutting. Test the layout, depth and feed on an offcut of the same material before working on the finished piece. The 9.5 mm cutting length is a tool dimension and should not be treated as a recommended single-pass cutting depth.
