I used different directions, according to the bit turning direction, so that it couldnt take out big chunks (i managed to avoid that even taking off so much at a time...)

A resharpened bit is a few thousandths smaller than a new bit. This results in the body being a few thousandths larger than desired. When you make a second pass with a new bit, it will remove the remaining wood. Since this is so very thin, the cut is generally quite smooth.

hmmmm
thanks for the advice...
Ill see if i can get a new bit today, and try to sharpen a little the one i have.
About a router table, i want to build one, but i dont have much space to put it in... Im considering making a foldable tabe, but then it wouldnt be so stable... Suggestions are welcome!
