Default Router Bit Extended Information

While I know we have a most excellent glossary on our forum, I am seeking something a little more extended if it even exisits.

Being more of a visual type, I was wondering if there is a good source anywhere that would have the bit name, bit picture and cut profile picture of the most popular and various router bits. Description of use would be a plus. I am trying to find a chart or something similar that I could keep handy and close by my router bit storage for reference.

Got any good links to something like this Bj?

I have accumlated a good many bits over time and now I'm not sure of the profile some of them cut and even their name.

And here I thought I was anal about being organized

I wish something like this could be added to our glossary.... it would kick!

Bob, does the phrase "Free catalog" do anything for you? You can download and print out a Whiteside catalog or order one from MLCS, Eagle, etc.

Mike.....

Sometimes that which is most obvious is most overlooked.

Thanks for the tip.

Hi Bob

I'm going to PM Charles M. and ask him if they have one or TWO that he would give/ send US.

I would like one also, I'm sure they must have something they give out to the dealers to hang on the wall so customers can point and say, I want that one 3rd one on bottom, right side .

Will let you know if he gets back to me .

If I don't get some feed back from him ,I will email a buddy that sell WhiteSide bits on the Net he may have one also or something.

Bj

This is why I keep the packaging in which my bits arrive in and the catalog.

I wouldn't waste the ink/paper to print a catalog like that...

I would copy/paste to build another document with the pics, etc. I wanted & THEN print the document (of just what I want).

Bob, MLCS has a FREE routing instruction manual you can download in PDF form that explains the use of each of the bits they sell along with pictures of the bits and their cut profiles. Check it out. May be what you are looking for.
