    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.

    Drill/Mill Router Bits

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Router Bits. Drill/Mill Router Bits .
    Drill, mill, and trim with the same bit. The unique shape on these bits was originally used for aircraft panels. They have a pointed end and spiral flutes, like a drill bit, making downward plunge cuts easier than with square-cut and straight-flute bits. The spiral flutes also leave a smoother finish. The flutes lift chips up from the workpiece for applications that require a clean finish on the bottom edge of the cut. Securely clamp your material before routing to prevent lifting.
    These bits are made of high-speed steel for general purpose use. They can be used with hand tools, router tables, and CNC machines. These bits do not have a pilot, so guide your router along a straight edge when hand routing to make accurate cuts.

    Square Cut Style

    Create square slots, pockets, and edges in wood. These router bits are plunge cutting, letting you cut directly into the workpiece from above. They do not have a pilot, so guide your router along a straight edge when hand routing to make accurate cuts.

    Spiral Flute

    Spiral Flute—Bits with spiral flutes leave a smoother finish than straight-flute bits and make plunge cuts more easily. They're made of solid carbide for longer tool life and faster cutting speeds than high-speed steel.
    Downward Chip Removal—Spiral-flute bits with downward chip removal push chips down for applications that require a smooth finish on the cut's top edge.
    Upward Chip Removal—Spiral-flute bits with upward chip removal lift chips up for applications that require a smooth finish on the bottom edge of the cut. Securely clamp the workpiece before routing to prevent lifting.

    Straight and Spiral Router Bits for Plastic

    The smooth flutes and sharp cutting edges on these router bits cleanly cut square slots, pockets, and edges in most plastics, including polyethylene, polycarbonate, and vinyl. They do not have a pilot, so guide your router along a straight edge when hand routing to make accurate cuts.

    Use carbide bits for longer tool life and faster cutting speeds than high-speed steel.
    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.
    Spiral Flute—Bits with spiral flutes leave a smoother finish than straight-flute bits.
    Downward Chip Removal—Bits with downward chip removal push chips down for applications that require a smooth finish on the cut's top edge.
    Upward Chip Removal—Bits with upward chip removal lift chips up for applications that require a smooth finish on the bottom edge of the cut. Securely clamp the workpiece before routing to prevent lifting.
    1 Flute—Choose a bit with one flute for a faster cut; bits with more flutes produce a smoother finish.
