| Registered User Jr. Member |  Fastest Bit for cutting 1/2 Plywood??? I've heard spiral bits are good for fast plywood cutting. What is the fastest bit to quickly cut through 1/2 ply following a pattern? |

| Senior Moderator Supreme Forum King  | Nick, you should rough cut your wood with a jig or band saw leaving perhaps a 1/4" to trim with your router. Saw blades are always cheaper than router bits and are designed for fast cutting. Bits to use on plywood depends on the type of cut: a through cut can be done with either a straight or spiral cutter or a compression cutter.

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King  | Hi Nick It sounds like you should stick with the bit you are now using, unless you want to make new patterns and use the brass guides.. ======
