Product Information

These bits are designed to cut rabbets and add slots to the end of your material. Increase the versatility of these bits by simply... Straight bits are perhaps the most frequently used type of router bit since they can be used in a wide variety of applications. While in a class of their own, straight bits are usually used for cutting different types of square-shaped grooves. These grooves can be cut with the wood grain (the technical definition of a “groove”), against the wood grain (called a “dado”), or along the edge of wood to produce an L-shaped shoulder or “rabbet”. All of these cuts are often used for joining two pieces of material. For example, the mortise and tenon joint is a very popular and sturdy joining technique that can be easily made with a straight bit. Aside from joinery, straight bits can also be used for mortising in door hardware, or for grooving a channel where a decorative inlay can be inserted. They can even be used in place of more specialized bits (like rabetting, described below), which contributes to their impressive versatility. Another example of a specialist router bit is the biscuit cutting router bit used to cut biscuit joints in the absence of biscuit jointer. More info can be found on biscuit cutting router bits in our project here. The rabbeting cutter is a very versatile router bit which can be used to cut a variety of different wood joints, like tongue and groove, shiplap and rebated, however the function of the rebate is not limited to joints alone but has an endless list of uses. The cutting depth (c/d) or pattern width of the bit can be varied by changing out the ball bearing guide for different size bearings.

Which hand planes should a power-tool woodworker buy first? If you had to recommend three, which hand planes should I start with? Due to this if the profiles are cut the same then essentially a rounded off joint will fit into a cove-cut joint. What distinguishes these bits from others (like a straight bit used for rabbeting) is the addition of a circular pilot bearing at the bit’s tip that acts like a spinning wheel riding along the edge of the piece being cut, guiding the cutting arm to the perfect depth. As a result, the width of the cut is determined by the size of the bearing, with a smaller bearing producing a wider cut. The most common sizes of rabbet bits are 1¼ inches and 1⅜ inches, and most bits come with several interchangeable bearings ranging from ⅜-inch to 1⅛ inches. 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. I'm glad there's at least one person out there who uses his! forestgirl-- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-) Is it because most bits are sized for a US market and therefore the 1/2" is most widely used? But 19mm is pretty much 3/4"... I can't really seem to find router bits that go there... maybe I'm not looking hard enough? There are some specialised ones from the US "mega rabbet" it seems.Flush trim bits are essentially straight bits with a pilot bearing that’s the same diameter as the flutes. The bearing at the tip guides the cutting arm perfectly around the edge of a surface, allowing you to trim overhanging material perfectly flush. You can use this for shelf edging, veneer trimming, or to smoothly join edges. They’re also great for duplicating curved patterns from a template. For trimming purposes, these bits can be used in a hand-held router, but a table-mounted router is best used when replicating patterns with a template.

Upcut spiral router bits plunge easily and produce smoother, cleaner cuts than straight router bits.

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. Change your Rabbet depth by changing the bearing! This 1/2" set includes all eight bearings to make 1/8”, 3/16”, 1/4", 1/2", 7/16”, 3/8”, 5/16”, and flush trim...
