Yonico 14705 1/2-Inch Height with 6 Bearings Rabbet Router Bit & Bearing Set 1/2-Inch Shank

Product Information

These bits come in a variety of diameters and V-groove angles that determine the width and depth of the groove. With one of these bits in your possession, the sky’s the limit: Crown molding, baseboard, and window frames can all be manufactured from a single set. As the shanks and in turn the bits themselves are thicker they are much more stable and produce a much cleaner cut. Traditionally, a sacrificial strip of wood is secured to the fence and the fence is then moved against the dado set, covering part of the blade as needed.

After all, most folks follow the standard protocol: on the tablesaw with a dado head buried in a sacrificial fence. For example, you couldn"t use a router table for putting a cavetto moulding round the outside edge of a standard size dining table because the workpiece is too big to support in a small router table. Synopsis: Decide what’s more important — the tongue or the shoulder — and you will know the best method to use for cutting a particular rabbet.A router table is more convenient for multiple cuts than a straightedge setup, and it's more consistent than a rabbeting bit, which follows the material's edge. The final main element of a router bit is the bearing guide that normally features at the base or tip of a bit but can sometimes appear at the top. However, if you don’t know which router bit types serve which of these purposes, you could be leaving some of your tool’s potential on the table. Some have a shear cut which, although beneficial when cutting from below, impedes the cut if used above since it directs chips to the base of the cut, which is exactly where you don’t want them to be. Similarly using a router in a router table loses the plunge router's ability to make plunging cuts such as hinge recesses (using a hinge jig), lock faceplate recesses, etc.

How to Work With Natural-Edge Slabs Let Mother Nature be your co-designer as you build dazzling projects with wavy edges, bristly burrs, bark inclusions, and other “flaws” that give wood a look of unrefined beauty. Is it because a trim router and a 1/4" bit would just find that too hard, even if I did multiple passes? but a UK supplier of something recommended as good I could plug my Makita into is a thing I would be really interested in right now. V-bits as with most other decorative cutting bits come in a range of different shapes and angles that can be used to form everything from a deep thin channel to a wide shallow one.This is great for things like the back edges of case sides, where you need the back to fit between rabbets. As they effectively cut a 45° bevel edge, they are also commonly used to ‘bevel” the edges of two adjoining surfaces to create a mitre joint so that they meet to form a right angle. It is more stable, too, because it has a bigger footprint than the fixed base, and has the advantage of being able to take Porter-Cable guide bushes when used with a commonly available adaptor.
