How to Maintain Your Router Bits

This month in WorkShop Wisdom I thought we would look at router bit tips. If you're like most wood workers, you will end up spending more for your router bits than you paid for your router. So naturally you'll want to protect your investment by taking good care of your router bits.

Carbide tipped router bits outlast high speed steel bits many times over, but the carbide is quite brittle and must be handled and stored carefully to avoid chipping the cutting edge. As with any cutting tool, both steel and carbide router bits must be kept razor sharp for the best routing performance. A dull bit is more likely to chip, tear, or burn the material being routed. Dull bits put more stress on the router motor itself and because router bits spin at high speed, a dull bit is more likely to overheat than a sharp one. The result is not only that bits have shorter lives, but that the router may not last as long.

Storing your router bits: Would you park your car over night on a railway track, I don't think so, well then, don't just toss a loose bunch of bits in a box or a drawer in your work bench where they can get knocked around and damage each others cutting edge. One way to keep your bits separated and safe from each other is to buy one of many commercially available router bit storage trays, or, if you're like me, thrifty, you can make your own.

A simple and inexpensive method of storing your bits is to drill a series of holes (matching the diameter of the router bit shank) in the edge of a length of 2×4, and then mount the board on the wall above your work bench. Remember to space the holes so that you will have a 1/4″-1/2″ of clearance between the outside cutting edges of the bits. If you prefer to store your router bits in a drawer, another simple and virtually free storage tray can be made by drilling the correctly sized and spaced holes in a piece of 3/4″ plywood, then, after drilling the holes all the way through he plywood simply glue a piece of 1/4″ plywood to the under side.

Keeping your bits clean: Router bits get coated with wood resin or pitch, which eventually will harden reducing the cutting efficiency of the bit. The newer Teflon coated bits keep such buildup to a minimum, however, even they will require the occasional cleaning. An all purpose house hold cleaner, such as Fantastik or Formula 409 will remove most light resin deposits. You can remove heavy resin build up with a good quality spray-on oven cleaner.

If you want to spend a bit of money you can purchase a number of commercially produced cleaners for router bits and circular saw blades. One good product that I have used in the past is a cleaner by the name of Pitch Off. I was able to find this cleaner at the House Of Tools for $9.95 CND.

Keeping your bits sharp: As with any edge tool, there are two steps to sharpening a router bit; grinding and honing. Grinding removes nicks and reestablishes the correct cutting bevel or bit profile. This involves removing a significant amount of metal. A router bit must remain in perfect rotational balance to cut effectively and remain safe to use; both cutting edges or profiles must be sharpened equally. That means you must not remove more metal from one cutting edge than the other. Also, both cutters must have exactly the same profile as each other.

Lets face it, what I am saying is grinding router bits is a tricky business, best left to professional sharpening shops. Some times the most expeditious solution is to simply buy a new bit. Of course, it would be impractical to send your bits out for sharpening or buy a new one each time they get a little dull.

One thing you can do yourself in your own shop is to HONE, or "DRESS" the cutting edge with a fine grit sharpening stone. The honing process removes minute amounts of metal, so you won't throw your bit out of balance or change the profiles significantly.

To hone, use a flat stone or abrasive sheet for wing cutters, or a conical stone for fluted bits. Diamond and ceramic hones will sharpen both carbide and steel bits. Remember, only a light touch is required. When a bit starts to lose it's edge, place its flat cutting face against the stone and draw it lightly along the surface. To keep the bit in balance, give each cutting edge the same number of strokes. Hone only the cutting face of the bit, not the bevel edge. Honing the bevel or contour may change the bevel angle or the profile of the bit on one or more cutting edges.

When your bits become too dull to be touched up by a light honing, or the cutter edge gets chipped or nicked, well it's time to send it out for sharpening, or to run down to your local router bit retailer and buy a new one.

Remember: Why buy it when you can build it. Happy woodworking.

can my wheel shake from a warped rotors when not braking?

I drive an 03 tiburon and I have been trying to figure out why my steering wheel shakes at higher speeds. I balanced the tires, aligned them, checked the air, tires are relatively new, rims are not bent, cv joints are good.

However, there is also a shimmy when I apply the brakes in the wheel. Its not violent but it definitely pulsates.

Could warped front routers cause the steering wheel to shake at just driving at high speeds? What else could it be

Assuming that the rims are not bent, your tires are good, and that your rims are balanced... Then yes, warped brake rotors can cause a front end vibration. Worn out ball joints and or worn out hub and bearings can also cause this. Have the rotors checked out first and go from there.
