A dado router bit cuts a flat-bottomed, square-sided channel across the grain of a board, most commonly used to house shelves, drawer bottoms, and cabinet backs in casework. The Infinity Tools Dado Router Bit is available in 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch shank versions for use in both handheld routers and router tables.

A dado is a channel cut across the grain of a board; a groove is a channel cut with the grain. Both use the same router bit profiles, but the orientation of the cut relative to the grain changes the terminology and often the technique used.

A roundnose (also called a core box) bit cuts a coved, U-shaped channel. Common uses include decorative fluting on furniture legs, finger pulls on tray edges, and coved slots for splines. The 1/2-Inch Shank Roundnose Bits are available with and without a bearing guide.

A V-groove bit cuts a V-shaped channel used for sign lettering, decorative chamfers, geometric patterns, and simulated plank lines on flat panels. The 90-Degree V-Groove Router Bit produces a symmetrical V-channel with clean, crisp walls in solid wood, MDF, and plywood.

Bowl and tray bits have a flat bottom and rounded corner radius, allowing them to rout shallow recesses with a flat interior floor and smooth, curved sides — ideal for serving trays, drawer organizers, butcher block inserts, and decorative platters. The Bowl Tray Router Bits are available in several sizes and shank configurations.

For router table work and any grooving operation with a bit diameter above 1 inch, a 1/2-inch shank is strongly recommended for reduced vibration and better stability. A 1/4-inch shank is suitable for smaller bits in lighter-duty handheld router applications.

Roundnose and dado bits can be used to rout loose tenons and corresponding mortises, but dedicated mortise-and-tenon router bits with the correct profile geometry are more efficient. The Infinity Tools Mortise Tenon Router Bits are designed specifically for this joint.

Router speed depends on bit diameter: larger bits require lower RPM. Most grooving bits in the 1/2-inch to 1-inch cutting diameter range run well at mid-range router speeds. Always consult the manufacturer's speed chart and make test cuts in scrap before running production work.

Yes. All Infinity Tools grooving router bits feature carbide-tipped cutting edges that maintain sharpness significantly longer than high-speed steel bits, especially when routing abrasive materials like MDF and plywood. Visit the Learning Center for tips on bit care and maintenance.
