    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.

    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.

    Pilot)—Plunge-Cut

    Top Pilot

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

    Hinge and Lock Mortise Router Bits

    Image of Product. Arbor. Front orientation. Hinge and Lock Mortise Router Bits .

    Arbor

    Use these bits to create large, shallow recesses in wood, such as mortises for hinge leaves or locks. Made of carbide-tipped high-speed steel, these bits provide a longer tool life and faster cutting speeds 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.

    Cut Style

    Lock-Mortise Cut Style—Lock-mortise bits create deeper recesses for bulky lock hardware to ensure doors close flush. They require an arbor (sold separately) to connect them to your router.
