What Are Router Bits?
Router bits are cutting tools that attach to a router to shape, trim, and cut various materials, including wood, plastic, and metal. They come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, each designed for specific tasks. At Ace Tool, we offer a diverse selection of high-quality router bits to suit your woodworking needs.
Straight Bits
Straight bits are one of the most common types of router bits and are ideal for cutting straight grooves, rabbets, and dadoes. Flush trim bits are used to trim the edges of a workpiece flush with the edge of another piece, perfect for creating seamless joints. Chamfer bits are great for creating beveled edges while edge-forming bits can create decorative edges and profiles.
Specialty Bits
For more intricate designs and joinery, specialty bits like dovetail bits, round-over bits, and ogee bits can add a professional touch to your projects. At Ace Tool, we carry a wide variety of specialty router bits to help you achieve the perfect edge every time.
Woodworking Bits
When choosing router bits for your woodworking projects, it's essential to consider the material you are working with and the desired outcome. Carbide-tipped bits are durable and long-lasting, making them ideal for heavy use. High-speed steel bits are more cost-effective and suitable for softer materials. Ace Tool offers both carbide-tipped and high-speed steel router bits to accommodate your specific needs.
Metalworking Bits
Metalworking bits are essential tools for shaping, cutting, and drilling various types of metal. These specialized bits are designed to withstand the high temperatures and pressures generated when working with metal materials. At Ace Tool, we offer a range of metalworking bits, including carbide-tipped bits for durability and precision. Whether you are fabricating metal parts or creating custom designs, our selection of metalworking bits can help you achieve accurate and professional results in your projects.

Masonry bits are specialized tools designed for drilling into hard materials such as concrete, brick, and stone. These bits feature a carbide tip that is uniquely suited to handle the density and hardness of masonry materials. At Ace Tool, we offer a variety of masonry bits in different sizes to accommodate various drilling needs. Whether you are working on a construction project or a home improvement task, our high-quality masonry bits can help you achieve precise and clean holes in masonry surfaces.
