I’m new to routing. Currently, my intended uses are:
- cutting 1/8” or 1/4” wide channels
- cutting mortises and dados
- cutting recesses for hardware (example, installing a vice)
- flush trimming
- chamfering
So, the bits I’m planning on purchasing are:
- flush trim or pattern bit
- chamfer bit
- down or up cut spiral bit
If I have a spiral bit, is there any reason to have a straight bit also?
