Nate197 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 In the past, I have used a reciprocating saw to cut my subwoofer circles for enclosures and now I am interested in buying a router. I know that I will need a jasper jig to cut the holes but, what kind of bit do I need for the router. Yesterday, I saw the bit you use to round the edges but, I do not know which bit to buy for the actual cutting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timkirkland1 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I think everyone uses a spiral upcut bit, if I am not mistaken. Not had the funds to get the bit or the jig so been using a jig saw. Spiral upcut seems to be what I hear most people using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 My bit sucks. I have to push hard as f$%# to make it cut. It is Bosch and I got it from Lowe's. Where are everyone else getting theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~digital~bass~ Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 It is called a spiral upcut bit. And the bit to round edges is called roundover bit with different sizes. And the bit to trace another pattern is called flush trim bit. Hope that answered it. Car Audio + Bodyboarding/Longboarding = LIFE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it determined by the size of the wood (example 3/4 mdf) or does it determine the roundness of the wood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zfrerichs Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 you shouldn't have to push very hard for the bit to cut the wood get a new bit and it'll cut like butter and for the guy asking about roundovers it's all about how big you want the rounded edge to be most of the time I use a 3/4 inch round over Roseville, CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and I didn't get the size of hole I wanted. I need to practice I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
