    Fast-Cut Router Bits

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Router Bits. Fast-Cut Router Bits .
    Quickly make smooth plunge cuts—the staggered flute design, drill/mill cut style, and carbide coating on these bits let them cut at higher speeds than other router bits. Staggered flutes combine the fast chip clearing and cutting speeds of straight flutes with the smooth finish of spiral flutes. The flute switches sides halfway up the shaft, making the bit more balanced and better at producing clean finishes than standard router bits. These bits have a pointed end, making downward plunge cuts easy.
    Made of carbide-tipped high-speed steel, these bits provide faster cutting speeds and a longer tool life than standard high-speed steel bits. They do not have a pilot, so guide your router along a straight edge when hand routing to make accurate cuts.

    Router Bits for Grooves

    Carve grooves in wood and laminate. These bits have straight flutes that quickly remove material, leaving a rough finish. Made of carbide-tipped high-speed steel, they provide a longer tool life and faster cutting speeds than standard high-speed steel bits.

    Top Pilot—Bits with a top pilot let you flush trim, cutting a lower layer of the workpiece flush to the layer above. They can also be used for pattern cutting with a template. They have a ball-bearing pilot that guides the bit for accurate cuts. All other bits do not have a pilot, so guide your router along a straight edge when hand routing to make accurate cuts.

    Top Pilot

    Use carbide bits for longer tool life and faster cutting speeds than high-speed steel.
    Bottom Pilot—Bottom-pilot bits trim material from an upper layer of the workpiece so that it is flush with the layer below. In addition to flush trimming, they can be used to cut along a template placed below the workpiece.
    Top Pilot—Top-pilot bits cut a lower layer of the workpiece flush to the layer above. In addition to flush trimming, they can be used for pattern cutting with a template placed above the workpiece.
    Plunge Cut—Bits with a plunge cut type let you cut directly into the workpiece from above. Other bits are best for operations where the peripheral teeth do most of the work such as trimming, contouring, and finishing.
    Straight Flutes—Bits with straight flutes are for general purpose use. They quickly remove material, leaving a rough finish.
    Spiral Flutes—Bits with spiral flutes leave a smoother finish than straight-flute bits and make plunge cuts more easily (for plunge-cutting bits).
    Upward and Downward Chip Removal—Bits with upward and downward chip removal are also known as compression bits. Acting like scissors, they move chips away from the top and bottom edges of the cut for a smooth finish on both.
    Ball Bearing—Ball-bearing pilots guide the bit for accurate cuts and produce less friction than solid pilots for smoother operation.
    Solid—Solid pilots guide the bit while routing. They are more durable than ball-bearing bits.
    1 Flute—Choose a bit with one flute for a faster cut; bits with more flutes produce a smoother finish.
    Pilot Location—Pilot location describes the position of the pilot when the bit is used for hand routing. The pilot location is reversed when using the bit with a router table.

    Overhang Cutoff Edge

    Micrograin carbide bits provide superior wear resistance, long tool life, and a cleaner finish than bits made of other materials.
    Use carbide bits for longer tool life and faster cutting speeds than high-speed steel.
    Bottom Pilot—Bottom-pilot bits trim material from an upper layer of the workpiece so that it is flush with the layer below. In addition to flush trimming, they can be used to cut along a template placed below the workpiece.
    Straight Flutes—Bits with straight flutes are for general purpose use. They quickly remove material, leaving a rough finish.
    Ball Bearing—Ball-bearing pilots guide the bit for accurate cuts and produce less friction than solid pilots for smoother operation.
    1 Flute—Choose a bit with one flute for a faster cut; bits with more flutes produce a smoother finish.
    Overhang Cutoff Edge—Bits with an overhang cutoff edge remove most of the excess material from the edge of workpieces such as countertops and sink cutouts, but they leave some material leftover for precise trimming after the installation. This process minimizes the risk of chipping laminate during installation and produces a clean, professional finish.
    Pilot Location—Pilot location describes the position of the pilot when the bit is used for hand routing. The pilot location is reversed when using the bit with a router table.

    Panel Pilot Cut Style

    Keep a variety of router bits on hand to cut grooves, chamfers, and other detailed shapes into wood and plastic. Made of carbide-tipped high-speed steel, these bits provide a longer tool life and faster cutting speeds than standard high-speed steel bits.
    Flush-Trimming Cut Style—Flush-trimming bits cut layers of material flush to one another or make cuts along a template.
    Hinge-Mortise Cut Style—Hinge-mortise bits create large, shallow recesses.
    Joining Cut Style—Joining bits create shapes that fit together in order to form joints.
    Panel-Pilot Cut Style—Panel-pilot bits have a pointed tip that creates starter holes for efficient plunge cutting in wood. To make precise cutouts, use the top of the tip as a pilot and guide the bit along a template placed below the workpiece.

    Flush-Trimming and Chamfering Router Bits

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Router Bits. Flush-Trimming and Chamfering Router Bits .
    Create straight and chamfering cuts on countertops or other laminate material without changing bits. For flush trimming, hold the bit at a height where only the straight cutting edge contacts the workpiece. For chamfering cuts, use the angled cutting edge. A ball-bearing pilot guides the bit for accurate cuts and produces low friction for smooth operation. The straight flutes quickly remove material and leave a rough finish. These bits cannot make plunge cuts, so they're best for operations where the peripheral teeth do most of the work such as trimming, contouring, and finishing.

    Chamfering Cut

    Style, Straight

    Flutes, Solid

    Solid carbide bits offer the longest tool life and fastest cutting speeds, so they can be used on wood and laminate. A solid pilot guides the bit while routing. The extreme hardness of these bits makes them brittle, so they're not recommended for use with hand tools. A highly rigid setup, such as a CNC machine, is necessary to prevent the bit from breaking.
