I mentioned in yesterday's blog that I needed a narrow straight bit with a collar, or bearing, that would ride along the template as the knives cut the Alder wood to the templates design. Ive included a pic below of the bit that I ordered so you can get a feel for how it works. I inverted the picture as my router will be inverted since I am using my router table. In the picture, the bit is trimming laminate that is glued to its base. But these bits can also be used effectively with templates as I hope to do. Just to be on the safe side, I will trace the template onto some other stock as a back-up in the event that I have a failure using the existing shelf as a template on the router table. Thanks for visiting!
