SlamminBeats Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I bought a craftsman plunge router. I also have the jasper circle jig. What bit do i need to cut through 3/4 mdf or birch and is there a bit to cut through 1.5 mdf or birch? Also i want round over bits. 3/8 1/2 and 3/4. Does it matter which ones i buy? I dont know anything about bits at all and need help. Links would be nice too. The cheaper the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmets Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Good question. To be honest I have a bosch router and have a few bits but I don't know much about the bits for them. I do own a few bosch bits, I think one in 1/4 and a couple other in 1/2. I can change the size out though on mine. Not sure if you can do the same with yours. I know one is just a straight cut router bit and I have a trimming bit also which is good to follow a pattern. Also have the jasper jig and that's about the extent of my knowledge of that tool lol. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/177477-slowboring-07-trailblazer-build/Pioneer DEH-80PRSPRV 8MR400-NDY (eight) PRV TW350Ti (6)Sky High 1/0 OFC, 12 gauge and 8 gaugeTM Metalworkz battery terminals 120 sqft HushmatXS Power D3100 (6)Singer 350 Amp Alt Singer 320 (2)American Bass SQL3200 JL Audio JX360/4 Crossfire XS 8K (2) DC Audio XL 15s (6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borris The Blade Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Use a 1/4" spiral up cut or a straight cut bit for circles, since the jasper is set up for 1/4" bits, the spiral up cut is most likely the best though. I use Bosch bits, things like router bits, drill bits, and saw blades i don't like to cheap out on. They seem to stay sharper longer imo. It's like rubbing your wiener up against a sheep.

audiolamb6 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 1/4 inch dia. try to find one that is about 3/4 long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borris The Blade Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 1/4" diameter. I use a 1" long bit because I don't like to cut through all of it at once. I find it best to make a few passes to keep the heat down on the bit and I burned up one trying to power through 3/4" MDF. It's like rubbing your wiener up against a sheep.
