I recently used a 1/2" shafted flush trim bit with bearings and 2" of carbide spiral cutting blades to trim some roofing substrate (T&G and 1/2" ply) flush with the underlying 2x8" stringers while making a cut-out for skylights. The result turned out beautiful.
What would you think would be the amount of material a 1/2" bit should reasonably take safely and without ruining the bit? Obviously, the smaller the bite the better but would taking a 1" bite be too much for the router and the life of the bit?
