In the latest issue of Shop Notes, one of the tips is to put a dab of silicone caulk on the end of router bit shafts to prevent them from bottoming out in the router. Esentially, making a small silicone "stopper" on the end of the router bit shaft.
Couldn't this be potentially bad for the router because the silicone could put the bit out of balance? Granted, it would be just a little out of balance, but since they spin at a bazillion MPH (it seems), I think it would be a bad idea. It's not that difficult to keep them from bottoming out.
Anyone else see this and/or have an opinion?
