Question: is it common practice to conventional mill instead of climb mill on routers, and why if so? It looks like you are conventional milling that video.

I've found that I get a bit better surface finish with conventional milling over climb on a router. Deflection during conventional milling tends to be parallel to the cut rather than perpendicular when climb milling so it doesn't affect the accuracy as much and lessens the chatter marks.
