Binding Router Bit Set

Choose from our money-saving sets and you'll be routing clean, precise ledges for a wide range of binding combinations. Carbide-tipped for long-life sharpness, the binding router bit has a 1/4" arbor to fit your shop router. 6-degree cutting edge downshear reduces grabbing on climb cuts, for cleaner results. The bit has an Allen screw with wrench for installing our custom depth-of-cut bearings. A special extension bushing for "stairstep" ledges keeps the bearing from rolling over dried glue squeeze-out, to prevent uneven cutting depth.

Router bit and bearings are also available separately.

Instructions
Tip: All our bearings are now sized for exact cutting depth. Remember to allow for swelling of wood fibers from gluing, as well as for the thickness of the glue itself. Glued plastic binding will swell considerably as it absorbs the glue solvents. Wood bindings glued with wood glues that contain water will swell also. To minimize final scraping and sanding, we recommend installing a short length of binding on routed scrap wood first, to test the fit.
