I don't remember who it was who mentioned Charles Niel's video on controlling tear out using the scalloping technique.

But just a few minutes ago I routed some maple that had the grain going in the wrong direction. Instead of climb cutting I tried the scalloping technique. AWESOME. Both stiles were chamfered using the scallop then cleanup routine. I had left a lambs tongue at both ends and no tear out.. easy clean... WOW!!!!

Thank you.

I have a big chip-out! Now I have a name to call it to go along with the swearing at myself. :-)
