Choosing the Right Router Bit

When choosing a router bit, consider the following factors:

• Shank Diameter: The shank diameter should match the collet size of your router.
• Cutting Diameter: The cutting diameter determines the width of the cut.
• Cutting Edge Material: Carbide-tipped bits are the most durable and long-lasting.
• Bit Profile: The shape of the bit determines the type of cut it will make.

Safety Tips

• Always wear safety glasses and hearing protection when using a router.
• Make sure the workpiece is securely clamped to the workbench.
• Start the router slowly and feed the workpiece into the bit gradually.
• Avoid forcing the bit, as this can lead to breakage.
• Keep your fingers away from the cutting edge of the bit.
