Router Bits

CUTTING MOLDINGS:
Molding cuts are easy to make in a variety of shapes and configurations. Use Clear grade boards just as straight as you can pick them from the lumber pile. The material to be shaped can be tacked or clamped to the top of a worktable or work bench to hold it tightly. If you are shaping panels or cabinet doors, clamp the panels/doors to a workbench surface. Then use a straight edge clamped to the panels/doors to guide the router along the material with the ring riding against the straightedge. But before you make the first cut, measure and mark the material twice. If you are making a fancy cutout with the router, it's smart to make a template of the cut first on paper. Then tape the template to the wood as a guide, or tape the pattern in place, draw the outline from it, and then remove it. Illustrated below are the different shapes you can make and the router bits used for them.
