Bumpy/Rough surface when routing a certain direciton

[JonathanTorrell]

I second what Robert’s saying. I had similar issues with my pocket bottoms with the spindle not being square and had to shim it to adjust.

Router shimming

I’m finally trying to clean up the cutting at the bottom of my pockets. It’s not bad at all, but i want to dial it in as well as I can. The picture below is from standing in front of the x-carve. Running my finger across the cuts, it feels as if the front of the cut is slightly higher than the back. Sanity check here, I would want to try to shim the top of the router bracket slightly to bring the bit more true to square? [image]
