Hogging it out
myshop1044,
Having done this several times, I found a couple of things of interest. On my machine, the spindle/bit is not perpendicular to the belts in the X direction which leaves the bottom uneven.
And as far as how much to cut out each time - it depends upon which way the bit is traveling. If it is going in the direction where it lifts the grain, it cuts deeper than the other way where it tends to climb away from the board.
I think you would set the bit centers at about .36" to have complete removal.
For what its worth.
