Path a router bit takes: rout or route?
What is the correct spelling for the path of a router bit?
Is it “rout” or “route”?
If it’s rout, is the plural form “routs”?
Update based on some of the comments:
This question came out of reading this article
on "cut outs" in printed circuit board manufacturing https://macrofab.com/blog/cut-outs-slots-routes-border-files-revisited/
I'm starting to suspect the most correct term for this may simply be "path", but I've seen many people in the industry use both "rout" and "route" (as nouns) to describe the path of the router bit.
From the article:
MacroFab’s PCB Assembly supports plated and non-plated cut outs, slots and routes.
The author of the article then goes on to mention in the comments at the bottom of the article:
You can write "ROUT" or "ROUTE" in the areas that you want routed out

The bit doesn't "follow a path"; the router itself is guided. Are you asking for a word that could be used for the cut the bit has made, like a dado or edge profile?

This rout isn't related to traveling or following a path but is a variant of root.

Welcome! Can you perhaps give us a sentence for usage? It would clear up how you'd like to use it. I believe it will end up being "route" though. I see "rout" being used as a verb of using a router, but can't see it being used as a noun for path. "Computer directed routers follow predefined routes to rout a groove or furrow". (I think this is an example of the router related words working together) merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rout en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Router_(woodworking)
