sprial up cut for cut outs

3/8" 3/4" round overs for edges

Flush cut for flushing edges (real nice and makes for a clean job)

rabbit bit (im pretty sure thats what its called) for cutting the edge for carpet, but this can be accomplished by spacing the sides in 1/4"

and buy quality bits

not to thread jack //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

but is the flush bit what you would use to flush mount drivers?

and ive been using the straight bit that came with my router and it works fine. I forgot the size though.

No, a flush bit flushes two pannels togather. It's a normal strainght bit with a little wheel on the end.

nope, we used the spriral up cut to flush subs. Just nibble a little out at a time

the flush cut bit, cuts edges flush. Its a Basically straight bit that have a bearing on the bottom. It rights along the bearing flushing the edges down. Its good if some pieces are maybe like 1/16th 1/8" too long and over hang. It will nip that lil hang over off.

The flush-cut bit is used to cut one piece flush with another. Say you had a joint in your box that didn't line up exactly and one panel was a little bit too long. The flush-cut bit would cut the extra length off using the other piece as a guide. It's basically a straight-cut bit with a guide bearing the exact diameter as the cutter on the end of it.

Typically if you want to flush mount a driver, you make a double baffle. The driver is mounted to the rear piece and the cutout in the front piece is the overall size of the driver.

Never found a use for a 3/4" round over. Too big to be practical. I have a 1/2" 3/8" and 3/16" that I use regularly. I need to get a 1/4".
