Thread: Triton router bits

If it is serrated I wouldn't bother with the sharpening. IMHO it is not cost effective. The triton router bits are OK but not up to the standard of carbitool or CMT. Straight bits are also relatively cheap. There are even new triton router bits on ebay.

It was originally issued with the Triton router mainly used for hardwood (thats what the serrations are for, better chip removal) is it 12mm?

That will be the bit that came with the Triton finger joiner attachment.

It was Tritons attempt at a poor mans spiral bit replacement.

Buy something new and keep it for rough work or wood with nails.

Saw & Bits Online Store!, Heavily Discounted Clearance Prices is full of goodies.

If you want fancy then Router Bit World - Freud, CMT, Amana, Bosch, Timberline Router Bits and Saw Blades will probably work out cheaper based on the exchange rate.

I'll second blackhole's recommendation of SawandBits. They are offering the best deal on the internet at the moment; good product for an incredible price. I have bought a *few* of their bits and can recommend them.

Also Google for Bits Below Cost.

Not as cheap as the Stehle but still worth a look.

Slight correction - it wasn't as a spiral bit replacement (higher quality), but as acme was getting to - better chip formation. It will result in a rougher finish because it was designed to be used at higher feed rates (or in this case a single, full depth pass), and the alternating carbide means it has less load on each carbide face, and more time to clear the chips as they are produced.

Carb-i-tool (as do many other router bit companies) make bits like this as well - again for situations where the required feed speed / depth of cut outweighs the requirement for a fine finish.
