Thanks Herb, that's not a flush trim bit though!This bit is 4" long, w/2" cutting capacity , you would have to make more than one pass to cut 3" deep. What are you trying to cut?

Carbitool Flush Trim Router Bit - Carb-I-ToolThanks Herb, that's not a flush trim bit though!
The last one I listed has a BB on it. the bottom one in the chart.If you look at Herb's example, couldn't you use the shaft as the edge guide...? After making a shallow cut and edge with a shorter trim bit...?
Thanks...I shudda said your FIRST example...The last one I listed has a BB on it. the bottom one in the chart.

That's what she said ;-)*Shock*...2" thick is massive! A butcher block on a stand I can understand, but a cutting board?
(I'm looking at a ruler as I type.)
This is what I had in mind and Tom beat me to it. Looks like the best solution.Maybe cut the first side to 2" depth using a top bearing bit and a pattern on top of the part and then switch to a bottom bearing bit, flip the part over and use the finished surface on the underside as the pattern? I'm looking at this as using a hand-held router and a pattern similar to the acrylic ones sold by Rockler (and others).
Why not use a regular spiral bit and a bushing on your template?Anyone out there know of a spiral flush trim bit with a cutting capacity over 2"?
Can even be a bit for a shaper doesn't matter.
Thank you
