Each bit is made for a different job. The wood shop has a wide assortment, although less common types may be unavailable. It should be noted that different bit sizes and profiles will operate better at different speeds.

If you plan to use a larger bit and reduce the speed of the router, ask a shop supervisor for assistance.
