Product Information

Router bits are designed to serve three primary functions: To create wood joints, to plunge into the center of a piece for grooves or inlays, and to shape the edges of wood. It isn't difficult to make a larger (more stable) sub base from acrylic plastic (Perspex, Lucite, etc) or polycarbonate (Lexan, etc), in any shape you like, such as an egg shape with an offset handle. Flush trim bits come in a variety of cutting arm lengths and diameters, but the most common are ½-inch diameter by a 1-inch length with a ¼-inch shank. This reverse glue joint router bit makes fast, accurate glue-ups and strong joints to fabricate large panels for doors, cabinets or table tops.

Rabbeting bits are designed to form an L-shaped shoulder or dado (square groove that runs against the grain) on the edge of a piece of material to form a rabbet joint. Downcut spiral router bits can be used for cutting grooves, dadoes and inlays leaving a clean top surface with minimal tearout.Cove bits produce a concave quarter-circle that’s essentially the inverse profile of the rounding-over shape.

I assume I can use the straight cut bit to make a rabbet, but is there a time when a rabbet bit would be used and a straight cut bit not used? As a result, the width of the cut is determined by the size of the bearing, with a smaller bearing producing a wider cut. Not only is it used for cutting channels it can also be used for creating decorative effects in wooden panels such as doors, table edges and other similar objects. The depth of the cut is determined by the size of bearing fixed to the base of the bit and due to this, rabbet bits normally come with a selection of different sized bearings so that you can cut a range of different depth joints.

You can accomplish the same thing (incremental passes) by "padding" the table and the fence with removable . Funny, last time I heard the subject of doing rabbets on a jointer here at Knots, it was members saying they never did that and what a waste that rabbeting ledge was. To be fair, I've only really used my router for putting nice edges on right-angled pieces of wood, plus my latest attempt at a rabbet. The worst base for this sort of work is actually the standard fixed base, which has a very small footprint and only takes Makita's own guide bush (which is 9.
