Which router bits do I need?
« on: March 02, 2006, 12:21:18 pm »
Hey guys - I am in need of a couple bits. Could someone confirm if these are the bits I need:

1st bit is intended to be used to trim the plexiglass/lexan.
http://www.mlcswoodworking.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/smarthtml/pages/bt_flush.html
If yes - does the cutting length matter between a 1" and a bigger size? The Plexi will probably only be 1/8

2nd bit is inteded to cut the 1/16th in slot for the t-molding

My router accepts 1/2" shank.

Thanks, I appreicate the help. I'm very much a rookie with this woodworking.

The first one is fine Lew.....  But I can't see a slot cutter on the second list that has a 1/16 cut height.  The right sort of cutter, just not the right thickness of cut.

Personally I use a 16th" biscuit cutter....  They're used for cutting a slot to take a glue in jointing biscuit in furnature making.

First bit good - thanks.

As for the second bit - I was thinking in the lower table, top right under 1/2" shank is set #7641

Too late now since you've already placed your order, but you shoulda gone with the 1 5/8" or 2" version.  You could do more patterns or whatnot, and the amount is minimal compared to the entire line. 

If you weren't concerned with patterns, that shear-cut bit below that first bit would have been a nicer bit to buy.
