Straight Router Bits do the Work
Certainly the “bread and butter” of woodworking bits, straight router bits are available in a wide variety of sizes. Their C4 carbide-tipped cutters promise smooth long-lasting cuts, yet they’re relatively inexpensive compared to spiral bits. Available in standard, pattern routing, and flush trimming varieties … these workhorse router bits from Infinity have you covered.
Flush Trimming Router Bits
With a ball bearing mounted at the tip, flush trimming router bits are the perfect choice for cleaning up laminated posts, or almost any flush-trim application. Even though a flush trim router bit is considered a “straight router bit”, Infinity router bit designs utilize a downshear angle for optimal cut quality.
Bearing Matches Cutter Diameter
The shear angle of the carbide produces wispy shavings and clean flush trimming cuts – even in chip-out prone hardwoods like white oak. Since the bearing matches the carbide cutter diameter, you’re guaranteed a flush cut.
Pattern Routing Bit
Every furniture maker or guitar builder has a prized collection of pattern routing bits. Like flush trimming router bits, the bearing matches the cutter diameter. However, the bearing is located on the collet side for a wide range of cuts, including both handheld and router table operations. Shown is Infinity model #12-771B with ½” shank and ¾” cutter dia. x 2” cutting length.
Cut Close, then Pattern Rout
Use your template to mark a pencil line, and remove most of the waste with a jigsaw or bandsaw. With the template firmly clamped in place, remove the remaining waste with a pattern routing bit. Move the router in a counterclockwise direction for the most predictable results.
