  • Patent number: 7226257
    Abstract: A router bit with a position stop is disclosed. The router bit includes a body with a collar extending outwardly from it and a shaft extending outwardly from the collar. At least one cutter blade is mounted to the body and the cutter blade may be used to cut a profile into a workpiece. The collar has a first diameter, the shaft has a second diameter and the first diameter is larger than the second diameter. The collar has a face formed a spaced distance or height from the transition point between the collar and the body. The face rests against the upper surface of a chuck when the shaft is secured in the chuck. This allows the body and hence the cutter blades to be held a predetermined distance above the upper surface of the chuck. A second router bit may be provided to cut a complimentary second profile in a second workpiece.

  • Patent number: 6808343
    Abstract: A cutter bit is provided which includes a body having a pair of free ends with a cutter bit mounted adjacent each free end. A boss extends outwardly from the center of the body such that a portion of the body and the cutter bit may be mounted in a rotary cutting tool to allow the second cutter bit to be utilized. The bit is reversible such that either cutter bit may be positioned within the chuck of a rotary cutter tool while the cutter bit mounted on the opposite side of the body is utilized. A method of mounting a cutter bit in a rotary cutter tool is also provided which includes steps of loosening the bit within the chuck of the rotating cutting tool, removing the bit from the chuck, rotating the bit end to end, replacing the end of the bit that was out of the chuck originally into the chuck, and tightening the chuck.
