    A:  I believe you will be ok I used it on 5/8 without a problem

    A:  Hi George! The 1/4 in. Flush Trimming Bit can be used to rout laminate on any substrate, as long as the substrate is thick enough to provide a surface for the bearing to ride against. In general, this means a ¼” or thicker material. Please note that if the substrate is less than ½” thick, the bearing screw may extend below the substrate.

      A:  I don't know the minimum but I would suggest making sure the surface is as smooth as possible. I used a piece of thin underlayment. the laminate feels rigid but small bumps/dips in the wood will transfer through.

        A:  I applied Formica to Baltic Birch that was 3/16" and trimmed it with this bit with no trouble. If you somehow chipped the upper corner of the carbide blades, just clamp a piece of wood under what you are applying the Formica to to increase the width of the bearing's track.

                  Used it to make my own countertop. Worked well - biggest issue is wobbly router due to small countertop edge. I suggest you clamp another piece of wood to the work piece to improve stability.
