A straight router bit capable of plunging, such as the Mortising router bits or Staggertooth plunge router bits, is designed for creating precise and clean mortises or deep grooves in natural wood and composite materials. These bits are capable of plunging, which means they can be used with a plunge router to make precise vertical cuts. The plunging capability allows for more control and accuracy when making deep cuts, and is particularly useful for creating mortises, dadoes, and other joints.
COMMON USES
Extra-long straight router bits are designed to be longer than standard straight bits, allowing for deeper cuts. They are specifically used for creating deep grooves, dadoes, and mortises in natural wood and composites.
Bottom cleaning router bits are intended for wide, flat, and shallow bottom cuts, such as stair tread routing. They can leave perfectly cleaned surfaces and are also helpful for cleaning out grooves and dadoes that were cut earlier.
ADVANTAGES
Versatility: Bottom cleaning router bits feature shear-angled flutes that improve chip removal efficiency, creating an extremely smooth surface.
Precision and Consistency: Staggertooth plunge router bits combine the fast cut speed of single-flute straight bits and the excellent chip clearance of double-flute straight bits, making them ideal for cutting double-sided panels and dense materials.
