Folks, I have a question.
I got a laminate router bit to trim some thin laminate material, which
will go on the unfinished end of a counter top. Now I tried using a
utility knife and all that, but this is a case where the router might
work a little better. Since the bit was pretty inexpens
Scott, I don't know about speed, but you place the bit so the bearing
is below where you want to cut, I would say, about a quarter inch
below.I have used this bit a lot on wood and it works great.

Ah, okay, so what I gather is I'd have to boost the material up some
so the baring is cleared and the cutting edge will touch the material
and that makes sense.
tnx,

Scott, I don't know what you mean by boosting the material. The bit
is for trimming off any excess material.

SOrry, meant since the baring is at the bottom, the laminate is so
thin, if it was not on something to provide enough hight, the cutting
edge wouldn't touch it.

Scott,
Just so you are on the same page, I am pretty sure that the way you would
normally use this bit is that the laminate is already attached to the
substrate but it is cut a bit large. You then use the router with this
bit to flush cut the laminate to the substrate. That is my understandin
Scott, I still don't understand what you are saying. For example, if
your laminate on your counter top sticks out a little past the side
of your counter, you would use the bit to trim the top a little so
the top is even with the side of the counter.

Dan, you may be right and perhaps the bit is not appropriate for this
use, but well like I said, it's a pretty cheap bit, so I can always
find a use for it. grin Well live and learn ha ha.

Sorry, never mind. I realize my error in choosing this bit is it
won't do what I need, but well it may serve other purposes in the
future so no loss. The piece I'm working with actually covers the
rough edge of the counter top facing. This is the edge you would
normally not see since it i

so what's it look like?
Is there a fame that holds the ball? It's sort of a portable fence device?
Sounds like an edging bit but I've never seen one?

to describe the barring it is not a ball barring
it kind of looks like an old roller skate wheel it is flat and rolls along the
work wile the bit cuts above or below it.

looks like I was imagining the pattern bit that was also mentioned. That's
where I got it wrong. What I was imagining would have to be that.
