Choose from 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch shank diameters, depending on the size of your tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What router bits does a beginner need?
A: The beginning woodworker can start with just a few bits needed for creating basic joints with a router. A straight bit will create a groove for fitting one piece into another, called a dado joint. A rabbeting bit will cut a lip or shoulder at the edge of pieces to join them.
For edges, the most basic option is a round-over bit, but we also offer bits for chamfer edges and a variety of other designs. Flush trim bits are for trimming veneer, laminate and shelf edging, especially when making duplicates from a template. For convenience, choose one of our router bit sets to help you get started.
Q: What’s the most common router bit used?
A: Straight bits are probably the most frequently used due to their versatility. In addition to dado joints, you can use them for mortise and tenon joints and, in some cases, in place of other bits. You can also use them to make a channel in the middle of a wood piece for a decorative inlay.
The most common router bits for cabinet doors include stile and rail bits, which create raised-panel doors consisting of horizontal rails and vertical stiles. Other cabinet router bits create designs such as cove, ogee and dovetail shapes.
Q: Can I use a router bit in a drill?
A: No. Router bits are specifically designed for routers, which spin at a much higher speed than drills. Routers also have bases that add more stability and allow for adjusting depth, which is important for precision. See our guide What Does a Router Do for tips on how to properly use a router.
