I have a router sled, and want to know the best bit to use to flatten pieces of wood to a glue quality face.
For example, I have 2 pieces of walnut plank, each being a foot long x 8" wide, cut from the same large plank, and I want to glue them together to make a block.
So I need a completely smooth flat face to both.
I have used ordinary plunge bits, and even a bowl smoothing bit, but there are always lines left in the wood, making me have to sand them out, and often causing more uneven surfaces in the process.
