What is the difference between a flush trim bit and a laminate trimmer bit
that you would use for trimming a laminate countertop sheet edge.

Length/diameter and often trimmers use angle not just straight flush.

Flush trim come in multitudes of sizes and diameters; you only need
short and preferably smaller diameter (chip out is less) for laminate.



To add on some clarification . . . there are small hand held laminate
trimmers (small router type tool) that use those bits as opposed to a
much larger typical wood working router that uses the "flush trim"
bits


But they're usable in any router of the proper collet size...either way.
The laminate trimmer as a specialty tool is somewhat of a newcomer on
the scene.
