For much of my routing (especially mortising), I prefer 2-flute bits for their speed.<br /><br />ChrisChrisHasFlairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01789176232191404489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703009255391882847.post-75926292405954175402012-05-30T21:25:28.132-07:002012-05-30T21:25:28.132-07:00I love my Eze Lap.

The fine and super fine should be the only ones they need for router bits but I can see where a medium could be useful for chisels that went too long between sharpenings. <br /><br />Nice blog. I was one of those suckers that bought a 50 bit kit only to discover later that I will use 4 or 5 bits out of the kit. At least it is a nice looking case.Qwashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17067819635946882575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703009255391882847.post-49045865975064978852012-05-30T17:00:44.705-07:002012-05-30T17:00:44.705-07:00And more important than all that, Bob...

In a nutshell, a 3/8" compression spiral and a Bridge City KM-1 will give you very clean dados that are exactly sized; better, the KM-1 doesn't care if you are sizing ply or hardwood so it's more efficient, too.<br /><br />To me those plywood bits are a gimmick.HalfInchShyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04633026047989713624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703009255391882847.post-36085824546789160392012-05-30T06:27:37.877-07:002012-05-30T06:27:37.877-07:00Paul:

I have one follow-up question-- I tend to cut lots of dados for plywood and would love to do this on the router rather than the tablesaw to avoid frequent blade changes. What bit would you recommend for this application? Could I use the compression spiral or would I be better off with an upcutting spiral (maybe 3/8ths for two passes for the slightly undersized 3/4" plywood I usually use). Or would I be better off with one of the "plywood" bits that are specifically sized and would only require one pass?<br /><br />As always, thanks for your great adviceUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515927403839219158noreply@blogger.com
