Trimming Router Bits

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

Flush-Trimming Cut Style (Bottom Pilot)	Flush-Trimming Cut Style (Top Pilot)

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.

Groove Cut Style	Hinge Mortise Cut Style	Joining Cut Style	Panel Groove Cut Style

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.

Router Bits for Wood Joining

Create shapes that fit together to form wood joints commonly used to build doors and frames.

Rabbet Wood Joint—Uncoated Carbide-Tipped High-Speed Steel

Rabbet bits have a ball-bearing pilot that guides the bit for accurate cuts and produces less friction than solid pilots for smoother operation.

1 3/8" Cutting Diameter—Rabbet bits with 1 _3/8" cutting diameter include interchangeable bearings in a range of sizes to adjust the rabbet width.

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.

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.

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.

Panel Pilot Router Bits

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.
