What RPM are you running on that skim pass, and is it the same as the roughing cut or do you drop it? On my old Bosch router I had to pull back to about 16k on the finish pass or it would bog every time.

Those morning huddles are legit, ran the same thing on a 60 unit apartment rough in down in Broken Arrow and it did the same thing for us. Trick is keeping it short and standing up, cause the second guys sit down it turns into a 45 minute gripe session lol. We do ours at 6:45 and everybody says what they got done yesterday and what they're hitting today, takes 15 minutes tops. The donuts are a smart move too, hungry framers listen better. Only thing I'd add is write the big stuff on a whiteboard or a scrap of osb so the guys who show up late still see it. If you let it run long or start skipping days it falls apart fast.

Mine was so long last year the client asked if it came with a workbook and a nap. Two pages max now, then we just talk it out on a call.
