Trimming Router Bits

Cut layers of material flush to one another or make cuts along a template.

Flush-Trimming Cut Style (Top Pilot)—Plunge-Cut


Bottom Pilot	Top Pilot

Carbide-tipped high-speed steel bits are for use on wood and laminate.

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.

Ball Bearing—Ball-bearing pilots guide the bit for accurate cuts and produce less friction than solid pilots for smoother operation.

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.

Flush-Trimming Cut

Style (Bottom

Pilot), Spiral

Flutes

Top Pilot

Use carbide bits for longer tool life and faster cutting speeds than high-speed steel.

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.

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.

Uncoated Micrograin Carbide

Flush-Trimming Cut

Style (Bottom Pilot)

Bottom Pilot

Bottom Pilot with

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.

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.

Rounded Corner Style	Rounded with Beading Corner Style	Bullnose with Beading Corner Style

Cove Corner Style	Wavy Corner Style	Roman Ogee Corner Style

Carbide-tipped steel bits are for use on wood.

Ball Bearing—Bits with a ball-bearing pilot operate smoothly thanks to the pilot, which decreases friction and guides the bit for accurate cuts. Other bits do not have a pilot, so guide your router along a straight edge when hand routing to make accurate cuts.

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.

Decorative Panel Router Bits

Remove large amounts of material on flat surfaces with these bits to create raised panels with decorative edges. They are often used in cabinetry and furniture making. Since they’re made from solid carbide, they have a longer tool life and faster cutting speeds than high-speed steel bits.

Ball Bearing—Ball-bearing pilots guide the bit for accurate cuts and produce less friction than solid pilots for smoother operation. For bits without a pilot, 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.
