I seem to be having a short brain circuit here fellas' I want to put a nice edge on some boards before putting them together with pocket screws/glue. Should I use a nice 1/2" solid carbon spiral bit in my table? Or a trim bit with bearing? Seems I used to know this and now I can't remember what I did before? Does this happen a lot when you pass 65? Or was it 66?  | ||

Hi Birch Just ny 2 cents  I like to use the 1/2" solid carbon spiral bit because of the skew angle on the bit.. it will cut unlike the standard chop angle on the trim bit.. ==========

I use the one that Bob and Rick sell.. it's a 1/2 inch flush trim bit and but it also has a shear angle on it. http://us.oak-park.com/catalogue.ht...&product=42-116 The one Bob mentions may work as well or even do better than this but I tried this one out with the jointer fence and it worked well.

See....I TOLD ya I knew it. Just couldn't remember. I use the 1/2" shank 1/2" downcut carbide spiral bit. Which makes it an UPcut in my table. Thanks for the memory jog fella's. | ||

The method of use does not change the type of bit cut. An up-cut pulls the debris towards the router and a down-cut pushes it away from the router. Any tear out that will occur will be on the side the debris is pushed towards, in your case the table mounted down-cut will cause tear out (if any) on the top edge of your material.
