I watched a different video where the surfacing pass involved a bit of a small diameter (1/4"). The reasoning was to avoid tear-out, and get a smooth finish
Where I have seen the use of smaller bits is with wood inlays were tear out could happen pretty easy. Not usually on surfacing epoxy or normal flattening. Need to think on that.
Why not just make a rectangle that is larger than your board and then just use Pocket tool path with a Raster passes to it? It would then change course off side of the board. This is how I do it, and it only takes a minute to create
I have the same question…. When I surface, I make a rectangle the same size as the project, then do a negative offset the same size as my bit. I let the overlap for the bit handle the overlap.
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. Truth is It can be done with a pocket toolpath . As long as you ensure box is large enough to allow bit to change directions off the wood surface which means you use a raster tool path. I do it with profile toolpath after watching another RU-vid person several years ago surfacing his spoiler board finding the profile path was quicker. That’s why I do it this way, but the beauty is there is multiple ways to accomplish the same task. I was sharing how I do it, others can use what works for them.

Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. Truth is It can be done with a pocket toolpath . And you are likely correct I am overthinking but it wouldn’t be the first time I have done that.😂😂😂 As long as you ensure box is large enough to allow bit to change directions off the wood surface which means you use a raster tool path.
