How Do You Use Profiling Router Bits?
One of the easiest ways to make fine edges on a piece of wood is to use profile router bits. These bits come in a variety of profiles, and some require setting up a guide. Some of the bits have a ball-bearing wheel that allows the router to use the edge of the wood as a guide. Insert the bit into the router and tighten. Adjust the height of the router plate to the desired profile. Measure from the edge of the bit shank to the edge of the plate. Set the guide at the measurement taken in step 3. Start the router and place it against the guide. Move the router in the opposite direction of the router motor.
