Straight and Spiral Router Bits for Wood, Particle Board, and Plywood


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.
Bits with straight flutes are for general purpose use. They quickly remove material, leaving a rough finish. They’re made from high-speed steel. Carbide-tipped high-speed steel bits provide a longer tool life and faster cutting speeds than standard high-speed steel bits.

Trimming Router Bits


Cut layers of material flush to one another or make cuts along a template.
Carbide-tipped high-speed steel bits are for use on wood and plastic laminate.
Ball-bearing pilots guide the bit for accurate cuts and produce less friction than solid pilots for smoother operation.
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.
Bits with straight flutes are for general purpose use. They quickly remove material, leaving a rough finish.
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.

Flush-Trimming and Chamfer Router Bits



Create straight and chamfer cuts on countertops or other plastic laminate material without changing bits. For flush trimming, hold the bit at a height where only the straight cutting edge contacts the workpiece. For chamfer 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.
Carbide-tipped high-speed steel bits provide a longer tool life and faster cutting speeds than standard high-speed steel bits.

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.

Router Bits for Wood Joining
Create shapes that fit together to form wood joints commonly used to build doors and frames.
Rabbet and slotting bits have a ball-bearing pilot that guides the bit for accurate cuts and produces less friction than solid pilots for smoother operation. Rabbet bits with 1 3/8" cutting diameter include interchangeable bearings in a range of sizes to adjust the rabbet width.

Router Bits for Grooves




Carve grooves in wood and plastic laminate. These bits have straight flutes that quickly remove material, leaving a rough finish. Made of carbide-tipped high-speed steel, they provide a longer tool life and faster cutting speeds than standard high-speed steel bits.
Bits with a top pilot let you flush trim, cutting a lower layer of the workpiece flush to the layer above. They can also be used for pattern cutting with a template. They have a ball-bearing pilot that guides the bit for accurate cuts. All other bits do not have a pilot, so guide your router along a straight edge when hand routing to make accurate cuts.

Hinge and Lock Mortise Router Bits





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.
Hinge-mortise bits create shallow recesses.
Lock-mortise bits create deeper recesses for bulky lock hardware to ensure doors close flush. They require an arbor (sold separately) to connect them to your router.

Fast-Cutting 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.

Router Bit Sets










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 bits cut layers of material flush to one another or make cuts along a template.
Joining bits create shapes that fit together in order to form joints.
Hinge-mortise bits create large, shallow recesses.
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.
