Advice re Router Bit
Hi, I'm relatively new to routing and want to build some picture frames. I have a router set up on a router table, 1/4" collet and my present rebate bit only cuts to about 1cm. For my frames I would like a wider cut - hopefully 2-3cm. What router bit should I use?
Sorry if my terminology is not correct and thank you for your help.

I would just use a straight bit and either first take a groove out followed by passing the stock through on edge get rid of the rest of the rebate. Or you could just do the full rebate in one go with a straight bit and the stock on edge. Cutting the groove first is likely to give less tear out

Hey tippotippo
I used to do my frames (rebates) with a router, but learned real quick that the rebates are better cut with a Table Saw, lot quicker and easier, and way more neater,
As Harrysin says, gently gently, 4mm at a time even if your cutter is only 10mm deep you can still cut a bit deeper than that.
