Will this router bit work for a jasper jig?

Its 1/4" Upsiraling bit, ( what meade says he uses), I think my bit is too big and it messes up my circles. Thanks

[Cr@sh]

It should, you use 1/4" or 1/2" diameter bits. I use a 1/2" base with 1/4" cutter <---wrong wording but you know what I mean.

The measurements on the Jasper are based on a 1/4" shaft/cutting bit

So that should work fine

[Cr@sh]

Oh yea, I forgot that part^^^ in order for the jasper jig to be correct cuts you need a 1/4" bit. Mine is just that, but with a 1/2" mounting shaft.

yeah that bit will work.

Just have to keep in mind weather you are using the inside dia or outside as the bit will change your numbers

[meade916]

that is the ONLY bit i will ever use....straight cut bits suck balls compared to this one when it comes to making MDF holes - get it and forget it!

[Crump]

Nice, its been ordered now , I think my bit that came with a 1/2 cutout.

[kingsuv]

they are a little harder to find, but a down spiral bit is the shit!

Shoots all the dust right down into the box and not up in yer face.

[meade916]

yes, the upcut bit is probably better if you are using a router table (where the router is upside down and the "UPCUT" bit is actully pulling the dust DOWN) - the DOWN cut bit will probably be better if you are going all the way thru with a hand router and doing something like a speaker cut-out... but im not so sure about that if you are only going part way thru though. Its probably fine, i have never used one - i like eating MDF dust The Router table is on my list from Santa though

I have been eyeballin this one for a bit.

Would go nice in my work table

I have a few of the stand alone tables, but I'm not too happy with them. I do most of my work by hand.
