Panel Pilot Router Bits
 Panel Pilot Cut Style |  Spiral Flutes |
 Straight Flutes |
The pointed tip creates starter holes for efficient plunge cutting in wood. For precise cutouts, use the tip as a pilot and guide the bit along a template placed below the workpiece.
Bits with spiral flutes leave a smoother finish than straight-flute bits and make plunge cuts more easily. They're made of high-speed steel and can be used with hand tools, router tables, and CNC machines.
Bits with straight flutes are for general purpose use. They quickly remove material, leaving a rough finish. Made of carbide-tipped high-speed steel, these bits provide a longer tool life and faster cutting speeds than standard high-speed steel bits.

Router Bit Sets
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 bits cut layers of material flush to one another or make cuts along a template.
Joining bits create shapes that fit together in order to form joints.
Hinge-mortise bits create large, shallow recesses.
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.
