Router bits are specialized cutting tools used
for shaping edges or the edges of holes in
wood. These tools can put bevels on doors,
curved edges and many other shapes. They can
also cut routs into flat pieces of wood. Router
bits come in many shapes and sizes, each designed
to make a certain kind of shaped edge.

or carbide tipped. High speed steel are less
expensive for the initial purchase, but the high
speed steel bits do not last as long as the carbide
or carbide tipped bits. The purchase price must
be balanced against the expected life of the
bit to determine the true cost of router bits.
