Router Bit for Cutoff work?
List:
Okay, this gonna sound weird . . but every router bit in my stable is of the "Edge Forming" or "Rabbetting" variety. What I Wanna Do: I'm working with some panels that are beyond my "Comfort Level" for tablesaw work. I've some baltic birch plywood that I've cut to rough size, laminated to ~1-1/2" thickness. I now want to cut these to "Finished Size." I think the best way to do this is with a router--some contours that I can use a masonite guide to cut. What's the best way to do this? A top-bearing flush cutter, making my guide the exact contour? What about long straight cuts, running the router along a straight edge? That's something I envision doing fairly frequently--it's be easier to control than my current circular saw method. Is there a special bit for that or would I just use a straight cutter? Thanks.
