A router is an essential tool for a powered shop. The question is, which bits should you use? First, carbide cutting edges are usually preferable to high-speed steel because they stay sharp longer. There are four basic bit types. Straight bits are the workhorses. Roundover bits “round over” the edge of a board, while core-box bits create coves and hollows. Dovetail bits have their uses as well. You’ll need different sizes for each type, giving you a core set of around 20 bits, although you may not even need that many.
