Router Bit Sets

Router bit sets provide a selection of common profiles in a convenient case.  Sets may include straight bits, flush trim bits, round over bits and ogee bits, giving you the tools needed for multiple projects.  Investing in a set ensures consistent performance across your bit collection.

What are router bit sets used for?
Router bit sets offer a variety of commonly used profiles and cutting shapes packaged together, providing a versatile solution for woodworkers, cabinetmakers, and DIYers. These sets are ideal for users who want to perform multiple routing tasks like edge forming, grooving, trimming, and joinery without buying individual bits.

What types of bits are typically included in a router bit set?
Most sets include a selection of the following:

• Straight bits – for dadoes and grooves

• Rounding over and cove bits – for decorative edges

• Chamfer bits – for angled bevels

• Flush trim bits – for pattern following or laminate trimming

• Rabbeting bits – for step cuts and joints

• Specialty bits – like dovetail, ogee, or V-groove bits depending on the set size
  The number of pieces can range from 6 to 50+, often stored in a wooden or plastic case for organization and protection.

How do I choose the right router bit set?
Consider the following:

• Shank size – ¼″ shank sets are common for light routers, while ½″ shanks offer better stability for heavy-duty work

• Material and coating – Carbide-tipped bits provide longer life and cleaner cuts compared to high-speed steel

• Project type – choose sets that match your intended work, such as cabinetmaking, decorative work, or joinery

• Router compatibility – ensure your router accepts the shank size and bit diameter in the set
  Router bit sets are an excellent value for beginners and professionals who want flexibility, convenience, and consistent results.
