Flush-Trimming Router Bits
Cut layers of material flush to one another or make cuts along a template. All bits have a pilot to guide cuts.
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.
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 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.
Straight-flute carbide bits have a solid pilot and are for use on plastic laminate. Carbide-tipped high-speed steel bits are for use on wood and plastic laminate. Micrograin carbide and diamond-tipped carbide bits are for use on aluminum.

Flush-Trimming and Chamfer Router Bits
These bits have a straight cutting edge for flush trimming and an angled cutting edge for making 22° chamfer cuts. They're for use on countertops and other plastic laminate material. For flush trimming, hold the bit at a height where only the straight cutting edge makes contact with the workpiece. For chamfer cuts, position the bit so the angled cutting edge makes contact with the workpiece. A ball-bearing pilot guides the bit for accurate cuts. All are carbide-tipped high-speed steel for a long tool life and fast cutting speeds.
