What is a router bit?

A router bit is a powerful power tool used in woodworking to create slots, grooves, edges and profiles in wood. It is called a "router" because the router bit is located above the workpiece during use.

A router consists of a motor unit with a rotating shaft to which different router bits can be attached. These router bits come in different shapes and sizes, allowing for a wide range of operations. During operation, the router is guided over the workpiece while the router bit rotates and removes material to create the desired shape or cut. Router bits are often used to create decorative edges, grooves for joints, routing out recesses and more.

Because of their versatility and precision, router bits are popular with both professional woodworkers and hobbyists. They are used in a variety of applications, from making furniture and cabinets to crafting wood decorations and craft projects.

Differences between router bits

There are several types of router heads on the market, each with their own characteristics and applications. Here are some common differences between router heads:

• Power: Routers come in different power ratings, ranging from entry-level models to powerful professional machines. The power of the router determines how quickly and efficiently it can machine materials.
• Variable speed: Some routers have variable speed control, which allows the speed of the router to be adjusted for different materials and operations. This offers more versatility and control while working.
• Cutter depth adjustment: The way the depth of the cutter is adjusted can vary between router heads. Some models have a manual depth setting with a dial, while others have an electronic depth setting for more precision.
• Collet size: Thecollet size refers to the size of the collet used to clamp the router bit. Routers are available with different collet sizes, which determines compatibility with different router bits.
• Accessories and features: Some router heads come with additional accessories and features, such as a guide rail for precise cuts, a dust extraction system for a cleaner work area, and a lighting system for better visibility of the workpiece.
• Brand and price: There are many different brands of router on the market, each with its own reputation and price range. The choice of brand and price depends on the user's intended use and budget. For example, Freud router bits are top quality and Gudho router bits offer good value for money.

It is important to consider the different features and specifications of router heads when choosing the right model for your needs and applications.
