Folks, I’ve made and sold a ton of cutting boards and cheese slicers over the years but I’ve hit a snag. I’m building stock for the 2026 Christmas sales and I decided to mix up my inventory of cutting boards by buying some acrylic templates and make some with fancy smancy handles. I’m having mixed results because of router bit grab and tearout particularly on the inside of the handles and it has to be the bit selection. I’ve used 2 fluted flush trim bits, spiral up feed flush trim and even compression flush trim bits. I’m ready to buy a new Whiteside 2 fluted 1/2” diameter, 1/2” shank but I thought I would reach and ask for your input.

I made this little jig to help me sharpen my router bits. I have hand tremors, so this little jig (hopefully) will help me get them sharp without ruining them. It’s made from mostly plywood and pine. The dremel tool can be raised or lowered. I put a knob on the back to hold the dremel in the position I want/need. The tool on the table of the jig is a 1950’ish router bit holder. It was made for this purpose, but it was to sharpen the bit while still in the router. I found it on eBay. It is adjustable to change the angle. I only sharpened one bit with it so far and it seemed to work well. All the wood is scraps from my “burn bucket”.

Help with Router Bit Selection Needed
thedeuce01 posted a topic in Machinery, Tools, Research, Reviews and Safety
Hi All, I'm new here and need some help with an antique armoire I'm repairing. The back is a frame and panel design and I need to create some replacement slats. The tongue ends aren't like any I've ever seen and I can't find the proper router bit for it. Any suggestions on what I can use to cut this? Thanks in advance! Munsey

It's been years. I have put up with a cluttered sloppy mess of bits in pill bottles poly wrappers making this drawer a complete unworkable disaster. Finally I got fed up with the madness and drilled a few holes in a hunk of ply I've seen People pooh pooh those router bit collections ( see the ones in red) I bought one for 30 sumpin bucks at a show and have never regretted it. I use the daylights outta them.

My first router table was an over-engineered bench top affair. (Ever hear the saying that an elephant is a mouse built to government specifications? Well, I'm that guy.) I didn't have a sophisticated system to store my bits, so I used empty prescription bottles. No way the plastic would damage the edge of the bit, the bit was protected from damage by contacting anything else in the box or drawer into which the bit was very carefully placed, , and the bottles were free. A piece of masking tape took care of labeling. Downside was that most of the bottles not transparent, so a lot of picking up and reading the label was involved. Worked good until I built my current router table, and started using blocks to hold each bit.
