Beading bits often have a > bearing >> tip >> for riding along the edge of the stock as it is cut. >> Chamfer Router Bit >> Chamfer Router Bit Profile >> View Full-Size >> A chamfer is a 45-degree angled cut on the square edge of a piece of >> stock. >> Chamfer bits are versatile, in that one bit can create a number of >> different-size >> chamfers based on the depth of the cut. As with the beading bit, some >> chamfer bits have a bearing-tip that rides along the edge of the > stock. >> >> Cove Bit >> >> Cove Router Bit Profile >> View Full-Size >> A cove profile is designed to apply a concave, rounded profile. Often, > the >> cove bit is used to match a beading or roundover shape on the >> corresponding >> piece >> of stock. For instance, drop-leaf tables use matching cove and bead >> profiles >> (called a rule joint). The cove bit often has a bearing-tip for riding > >> along >> the edge of the stock. [br][br] Tip: The cove profile is not to be >> confused >> with a round nose bit (below), which is used to make round-bottomed >> grooves >> in the middle of a piece of stock. >> >> Dado (Straight-Cutting) Bit >> >> Dado Profile >> View Full-Size >> There are a number of methods that can be used to cut a dado profile, >> which >> is a square channel in the middle of a piece of stock. While there are >> specialty >> saw blades used for cutting dadoes on a table saw, a dado can also be > cut >> with a router using any of a variety of straight-cutting bits. These >> straight-cutting >> bits come in a variety of sizes, they are all similar in that the bit > is >> designed to cut a flat bottom and square sides. Some straight-cutting > bits >> have >> a bearing-tip (designed for trimming a piece of laminate applied to > the >> face >> of a board), but these bearing-tip bits cannot be used for cutting a > dado. >> >> Dovetail Bit >> >> Dovetail Router Bit Profile >> View Full-Size >> The dovetail bit is most famous for use in creating tails for dovetail >> joinery. However, dovetail bits can also be used to make tapered > dadoes >> and >> rabbets. >> A dovetail profile has a flat bottom with angled sides which are wider > at >> the base. Most dovetail bits do not have a bearing, although a few >> specific >> template-style >> dovetail jigs require bearing on the shank of the bit. >> >> Ogee Bit >> >> Roman Ogee Router Bit Profile >> View Full-Size >> The Ogee bit, also referred to as a Roman Ogee creates a compound, >> S-shaped >> profile. There are a number of variations on the Ogee profile, with >> shoulders >> on the edges or points in the middle of the profile. As with other > edge >> bits, Ogee router bits often come equipped with a bearing tip. >> >> Rabbeting Bit >> >> Rabbet Router Bit Profile >> View Full-Size >> Simply stated, a rabbet is a dado on the edge of a piece of stock. > While >> rabbets can be cut using a table saw (with a dado blade) or a >> straight-cutting >> router bit, there are also specially-designed rabbeting bits, designed > to >> ride along the edge of the stock (often with a bearing tip). >> >> Round Nose Bit >> >> Round Nose Router Bit Profile >> View Full-Size >> The round nose router bit is similar to the cove bit, except that is >> designed for plunge routing grooves and flutes in the middle of a > piece of >> stock. Round >> nose bits, sometimes referred to as core-box bits, can be used to cut >> shallow, rounded-bottom grooves of various depths, but to be used >> properly, >> the bit >> should be plunged until the profile cut into the wood creates a full >> 180-degree arc. >> >> Roundover Bit >> >> Roundover Router Bit Profile >> View Full-Size >> As mentioned above, the roundover bit creates a rounded profile on the >> square edge of a piece of stock, and differs from the beading bit in > that >> no >> shoulders >> are cut. Often, only a portion of the roundover bit is used to create > a >> partial easing of the edge rather than a full 90-degree arc. As with >> beading >> bits, >> roundover bits sometimes have a bearing-tip. >> >> V-Groove Bit >> >> V-Groove Router Bit Profile >> View Full-Size >> Think of a V-groove profile much like a double-chamfer profile to be >> plunged >> into the center of a piece of stock, similar to the way the roundnose > bit >> is >> used.
