Carbide Router
The strawberries every wood worker should have
The best way to start with the router is to buy a basic set of bits. This will provide basic bits are most commonly used in the store. The router bit set should have a variety of profiles so you can perform a wide variety of cuts. Look for the two bits profiles with a bearing guide, a little more round or chamfer. Also the bits that can cut in the middle of the Board, a little bit and cut straight and short dovetail.
I recommend seven bits in a set. These will be the bits that allow the most variety. As you learn and wants to start building more complex projects that you can buy bits for specific tasks. Below are descriptions of seven bits and their basic functions.
Cutting or MORTISING Straight Bit
This type of bit comes in several sizes starting at around 1 / 2 "and ranging up to 1-1/4". 3 / 4 "is very common and will work for most purposes. Use this drill when conducted mortising door hinges or cutting of dice. A little straight cut leaves a smooth, flat bottom which makes it a poor choice for cutting step. A spiral cutting bit is best suited for immersion cuts.
Dovetail Router Bit
Dovetail Bits are mainly for cutting joints. Using a staff of cutting dovetails perfectly dovetail corners for boxes and crates. This bit is available in several different angles and a variety of sizes.
Round Over Bit
This profile bit cuts a profile rounded the edge of a piece of stock. Available in several sizes this bit router also has an impact on the bottom to guide the entire perimeter of a board. This is very common for a profile table and desktops.
Piece Cove
A little cove does the opposite of a round over bit. It cuts a smooth concave cove in stock. A little cove also uses a relationship to follow the contours of the population. Available in a variety of sizes, cove bits can add a decorative element nice desk tops and chair legs. When using larger bit successive passes slowly creek to take more wood until the desired profile is reached.
Bevel Bits
A chamfer is a profile at an angle. Chamfer bits are available in several angles of 45 degrees is the most common. This Profile of bits has a bearing guide follow the edge of the cut piece and that is commonly used in laminate counters and cabinets.
Bits Sigma
A Gothic arch is a creek and one more round. This bit makes a wonderful embellishment for a wide variety of projects. This bit has a relationship guide and can be used effectively by hand or with a router table.
Beading Bit
This bit cuts a cord with a small bezel above and below it. A little game take a little testing before making the final cut. Adjusting the height of the drill will help equalize the size of the bezel above the bottom of the bezel. This is a perfect strawberry for shelves, coating and finishing.
These seven bits router make almost any cut that is needed when starting with a router.
It is better to treat Strawberries obtain a 1 / 2 "shaft instead of a 1 / 4". If you are buying a little larger than removing a large amount of wood then a 1 / 2 "shank if almost mandatory. This increased stem size will give more strength to the bit and reduce vibration, this results in a reduction softer.
Always get strawberries with a carbide cutting surface. Carbide is much harder then the alternative, steel, and will hold its edge longer. Steel cutting begins well but quickly lost his lead after carbide.
