It looks like a cutter for the Stanley plane attachment for the older model routers .The cone on the shaft is fixed instead of split which locks it in with the large nut , then the Spiral cutter and then the small nut locks that down. I have a box full of the cutters like this with different profiles that dad had from the 50's plane attachment and router, only thing i don't have is the mounting bracket to attach the router motor to the plane.
It is from the planer kit. Do other bits share the shank? In other words, unscrew the top nut, take off the cutting part and put a different one on the same shaft? If that’s the case, do you know what they’re called so I can search for them?
That’s exactly what it’s for. Do you know what that type of bit is called? Not the bit itself, but that whole little bit assembly with the conical end that goes into the router?
I'm confused, the bit appears to be from a planer but ROUTER is still being talked about!!
It’s a router that can go in a fixed base or on a planer base. There’s a door jamb jig too. A ‘handyman kit.’
In a router, the bit shown could only be used for planing edges. This limited use is an example of what I've been saying for a long time, "there is no substitute for a tool dedicated to a single task", a dedicated router is capable of so much more than edge treatment.
