I plan on setting up a Tongue & Grove bit today. The instructions shows the thickness of the shims, but does not advise on shimming for a tight or loose fit. I have never changed bearings on a bit, let alone shimmed one. If I want a 1/4" T, how many .001's should I shim for an easy fit with room for glue? I think the smallest shim is .006 and then up to .020.
Also, what is a good way to get the nut off? I'm thinking, put the bit in the router and take off the nut like I would loosen the collet.
It's a Freud bit
Thanks for any help
