Door and window router bits are mainly applied in the cabinet door and window-making projects. Raised panel router bits and rail and stile router bits are the two most commonly used bit types for door making. A raised panel router bit, as the name suggests, is used to make a raised panel for a frame and panel door. There are two types of raised panel bits: horizontal bits and vertical bits. Nowadays, most cabinet doors are stile and rail doors, requiring complex construction techniques. They are constructed from vertical stiles and horizontal rails with central panels secured in between. Rail and stile router bits, also known as cope and stick router bits, are used to make stile and rail doors. They often contain two bits: a rail bit for cutting a tenon and a stile bit for creating a corresponding groove. Konetool offers raised panel bits and rail and stile bits with various profiles and sizes.

Straight router bits, known as the most commonly used type of router bit, create straight cuts to make grooves, dados, mortises, and inlays. Designed with cutting edges both on the side and bottom and straight or spiral flutes, they can be used for both decorative and functional square-shaped cuts. The most important application of straight router bits is creating wood joints. Grooves are cut with the wood grain. While dados are cut against the wood grain. Besides, decorative inlays and rabbets can also be formed by straight router bits. When it comes to the selection of straight router bits, there are many factors you need to consider. Double-flute carbide-tipped straight bits are the most common choice which can be used in most woodworking applications. A single-flute bit is ideal for fast-speed routing. Angled flutes create a cleaner edge. However, if you need a super clean cutting finish, solid carbide spiral router bits should be the choice without regard to their prices. Konetool provides a full range of straight router bits for all grooving and jointing applications in your woodworking projects.

In the couple of years since I picked up Lee Valley’s cornering tools, they’ve become an indispensable part of my everyday toolbox. I use them to round over sharp wood edges, but they’re more accurate than sandpaper and quicker than setting up a roundover bit in a router. The set comes with two tools: a 1/16-in. and a 1/8-in. radius edge ($25); each tool also can be purchased separately at about $15 apiece. The tools are about the size of a small screwdriver and are essentially small hand planes with a curved blade that you pull along the edge of the wood. As with any chisel or plane, success with the technique comes in how you angle and tilt the tool as you use it. Finding the sweet spot yields a consistent, near-perfect roundover. Also, as with any chisel or plane, reading the grain makes all the difference; pulling against the grain with the cornering tool, especially on open-grained woods like fir, is liable to lead to some major tearout. These tools excel at getting into tight spaces where even trim routers won’t fit. I also use them when working high up on a ladder where I’d rather not have both hands holding a router.Because any blade is only as good as the sharpness of its edge, it’s important to keep the blade honed. Lee Valley includes instructions and a small piece of fine-grit sandpaper to help the process. A few passes with the sandpaper wrapped around a dowel is all it takes to tune up the blade. I recommend that any finish carpenter pick up these tools. Even if only used once or twice, they’ll easily pay for themselves, but I bet you’ll find yourself using them a lot more than you think

Flush trim router bits look similar to straight router bits but have a bearing at the top, bottom or top and bottom. They are used to trim laminate or duplicate patterns from a template. The bearing, which is the same diameter as the flutes, works as a guide to ensure that the bit runs along the template’s edge. For duplicating purposes, a table-mounted router should be used because you can have an uninterrupted view of the template. Konetool supplies a wide collection of flush trim router bits of different sizes and types. Whatever your trimming application is, you can find the ideal flush trimming router bits at Konetool.

The rotating cutter mounted on a router is called a router bit, used to create decorative profiles or joints in woodworking projects. Router bits can be divided into three types: high speed steel (HSS) router bits, carbide-tipped router bits, and solid carbide router bits. Another standard of classification is applications. According to different applications, router bits are generally classified into eight categories: straight router bits, flush trim router bits, door & window router bits, grooving router bits, profiling/molding router bits, jointing router bits, slotting router bits, and spiral router bits.

Request our router bits catalog for detailed information.Read MoreA woodworking router, recognized as the most versatile power tool, is a power tool or a type of machine widely used in the woodworking industry, especially cabinetry. It processes pieces of wood by routing. Basically, it consists of a flat base, a spindle, a motor, and a rotating cutter. There are three types of routers: handheld routers, table-mounted routers, and computer numerical control (CNC) routers. Compared with a handheld router, a table-mounted router is more versatile. A CNC router is controlled by a computer, so it can take advantage of CNC.
