You can route out an area of wood with a regular "straight bit". If you are talking about the kind of bit where a bearing rides along the edge so you cut in a certain distance, that is called a "rabbeting bit". |

I used a straight bit to recess my trackball. Layout the trackball template down and cut out the center section first and then drill the 4 holes. Basically I just lowered the bit the same thickness as the trackball plate and then tested it out on a piece of scrap MDF. Once I knew the distance from the edge of the router to the cut, I made some small marks on my CP and clamped a straight edge down and made the cut. Once the outside edges were done it was easy to freehand out the middle. Don |
