| Re: Recommended router bits to start out? Hi there Sonnie,
here's what I use:
A narrow straight bit used for:
- plunge cutting openings in shelf braces
- cleaning up edges of panels that have been cut slightly oversize with saw
- cutting driver openings
- cutting undersize port openings
A wider straight bit used for:
- Cutting driver rebates
A flush trim bit used for:
- Cleaning up overhang from joints
- opening up port holes
A rollover bit used for
- Cutting port flares
- Rounding off edges if cabinet is not to be veneered
- Edges of grille frames
A 45 degree chamfer bit used for
- Opening up around deeply recessed amps
- Edges of grille frame
Some of the straight bits could be duplicated with spiral upcut bits which pull the cut material out of the work area
regards
