If it looks like a biscuit cutter it could be a slot cutter. There are biscuit
cutter bits for the router.

Hi,
I purchased a bunch of older equipment off of a guy. Some of the items are
2 Craftsman routers. One has a jig attached to it and it looks like it cuts
a rabbet. I just turned it on and decided to plunge it into a piece of wood
to see what it would do and it took the underside of the board off about an
eighth of an inch and about 3/8 inch deep. After setting the router on the
board surface, you push the router in to move in for the cut. Does this
sound like a jig for rabbets? The blade looks like the cutter in my biscuit
jointer.
The routers sounded a bit like they needed to be lubricated. They have not
been used in a few years. Can anyone advise me on how to get the routers
in proper working condition? After letting them run a few times for a few
seconds, they sounded better, but I thought I would ask the more
knowledgeable out there.
Thanks,
Keith
