The chamfer or bevel cutting bit is commonly used for shaping the edges of objects such as book shelves, work tops and table tops and any other object where a sharp 90° edge needs to be removed. You will also learn about the different parts of a router bit, what different sizes of shanks are available and also about specialist router bits. There were 10 balconies, all subtly different, so I made one mother template, used that to produce 10 different individually fitted templates then routed 7 copies of each of them.As a result, the width of the cut is determined by the size of the bearing, with a smaller bearing producing a wider cut. A secondary fence made from a strip of MDF lets you expose only as much blade as you want without damaging your rip fence.

To be fair, I've only really used my router for putting nice edges on right-angled pieces of wood, plus my latest attempt at a rabbet.Before you begin using these router bit types, know that they are meant to be used exclusively in a router table.

How to Work With Natural-Edge Slabs Let Mother Nature be your co-designer as you build dazzling projects with wavy edges, bristly burrs, bark inclusions, and other “flaws” that give wood a look of unrefined beauty. Actually with a side fence and, say, a 20mm 2-flute straight cutter you could do straight rebate - the thing is you'd need to do it in incremental depth passes of 1 to 3mm (assuming in MDF or ply). As the shanks and in turn the bits themselves are thicker they are much more stable and produce a much cleaner cut.It’s used for decorative purposes on the edges of window seals, stools, and tables, and can also be used to make moldings.
