Best bit to mortise for panels--Pat Warner??
What is the best bit to mortise stiles-rails that receive panels? I
recently used an up-cut solid carbide and noticed 'minor' chip-out at the top of the mortise. Ordinary straight bit? Down-cut spiral? -- Stoutman www.garagewoodworks.com |

Down-cut spiral? A down spiral will have the least tendency to raise wood fibers at the top of a mortise, but will also tend to pack the chips into the bottom of the mortise. Chip-out in a mortise may be a sign of a not-so-sharp (even if brand-new!) bit. A good, sharp bit should shear wood fibers rather than breaking them. If chip removal isn't a problem, then an ordinary (plunge cutting) straight bit should produce the most consistantly good results. -- Morris Dovey DeSoto Solar DeSoto, Iowa USA http://www.iedu.com/DeSoto/ |

Using a TS is 10 times faster and easier on the equipment for making panel slots. |
