Well gents, the day is fast coming. Tomorrow after I make my jig, I am going to take the DW618 and cut my first mortise joints. 1/4 bit and I am doing a 1/2 inch plunge. My question aside from everything is, what speed would you guys suggest running the router at? My normal default for everything in life is FULL SPEED AHEAD.... but that might not be the right move in this case. The wood is 3/4 white oak.
