Yakamoz 1/4 Inch Shank Rabbeting Router Bit with 6 Bearings Set for Multiple Depths 1/8", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", 1/2"

Product Information

One other very handy cut the straight cut bit can make is a plunge cut. This is when the bit is lowered down on to the surface and then starts to cut down in to it. The purpose of the bearing is to allow you to easily guide your router bit along a piece of work so that your (normally) shaping or detailing work is kept straight and accurate.

Premium straight router bits for dados, rabbets, pattern cuts or virtually any application requiring a straight edge.

I built a router table and put a router in it. Have used it only a little, but I need to make some 1/2″ x 1/2″ rabbets in some plywood. I have both straight cut bits (1/2 inch cutter diameter) as well as a rabbet bit with various bearings. As you may have guessed from the shape of the bit in the image below, the core cutting bit cuts channels and shapes with a concave bottom. The depth of the cut is determined by the size of bearing fixed to the base of the bit and due to this, rabbet bits normally come with a selection of different sized bearings so that you can cut a range of different depth joints. You can accomplish the same thing (incremental passes) by "padding" the table and the fence with removable ..... well, spacers I guess you could say. I'd try 1/4" Masonite, smooth side out. Attach a piece to your fence, and lay a piece on your table (relief hole for the bit obviously). Have the bit set to the ultimate goal, make a pass with the spacers, then remove them and make the final pass.

Our largest Rabbet Bit in a set with five bearings. Makes those extra deep 1/2", 9/16”, 5/8”, 11/16”, and 3/4" Rabbet cuts. Hex Wrench included. Set is... Cut a keyhole slot with a wider slot beneath the surface, for flush wall mounting pictures and other objects without wires.What I actually did as a test was to make multiple passes across the table saw blade at a height I thought was right for the extra 6mm or so... this didn't leave something as neat as I wanted and I needed to clean up with a chisel. Next time (this weekend) I'll probably try the 2 cuts on the table saw method. Sets such as these include all the essential router bits you will need for pretty much any carpentry project and although they may not give the most accurate of cuts or stay sharp for long, they will allow you to practice and hone your skills to the point that you can then justify spending a little more on some decent bits. Router Bit Types Flush trim bits come in a variety of cutting arm lengths and diameters, but the most common are ½-inch diameter by a 1-inch length with a ¼-inch shank. Ovolo router bits can cut simple roundovers and dramatic veins, decorate large panels or even plunge cut to produce eye-catching rosettes. This project should be read in conjunction with our project on how to use a router found here. What are the Different Parts of a Router Bit?

The rabbeting cutter is a very versatile router bit which can be used to cut a variety of different wood joints, like tongue and groove, shiplap and rebated, however the function of the rebate is not limited to joints alone but has an endless list of uses. The cutting depth (c/d) or pattern width of the bit can be varied by changing out the ball bearing guide for different size bearings. Cut dozens of classical profiles with our multi-profile router bits. Vary the cutter height, fence position and number of passes to produce an almost unlimited variety of shapes. Again as with other router bits that need to cut accurately, these bits also feature a pilot bearing guide fixed to the base of the bit.Carbide bits are tougher than standard HSS bits so on the whole will last much longer and keep their sharpness for considerably longer, however they are brittle and can easily damage if dropped you need to take care of them! A lot of timber we buy over here is 19mm, isn't it? How best do we cut a rabbet that's 19mm wide by some depth? I'd have thought a router bit was the way to go. More often than not, these are generally shaping or moulding bits that are used to create specialist moulding’s and shapes, sometimes two in a single pass. Certainly when the shelf (rabbet) cut is > than the diameter of the bit you're taking too much/pass.

V-bits as with most other decorative cutting bits come in a range of different shapes and angles that can be used to form everything from a deep thin channel to a wide shallow one. The configurable rabbet bit I bought (changeable bearings - think they're called "step washers"?) only goes to 1/2"... about 13mm. I have been looking for a rabbet router bit that will allow me to get to dead on the 19mm... but it seems to not exist? These edge beading router bits create a whole range of interesting edge effects and traditional moulding designs.

These bits come in two forms: single and double. Single rounding-overs create their profile on a single edge, producing a quarter-round effect. The double rounding-overs bits cut the bottom and top edge simultaneously, making a full half-round profile. As they effectively cut a 45° bevel edge, they are also commonly used to ‘bevel” the edges of two adjoining surfaces to create a mitre joint so that they meet to form a right angle. Glue joint bits assist joining two pieces of material by creating identical, adjoining tongues on the edge of both pieces. The notched cuts create plenty of surface area for gluing and form a tight-fitting joint that holds the pieces together while they’re being clamped. They’re available in two varieties: standard and mitered. The standard glue joint joins squared edges, while the mitered bit is made with a 45-degree angle to join two mitered edges.
