Flat-pack record crate with dados
Use the 3/4 in. straight bit to plunge and cut full-width dados for a slot-together plywood record crate. The plunge-friendly tip lets you start cleanly in the panel, and the 1-1/2 in. cutting length handles deep, structurally strong joints. Add 3/4 in. wide finger-grip slots by plunging near the rim of end panels.
Relief mosaic wall art
Create a geometric wall panel by pocketing a grid of squares/rectangles at varying depths. The double flutes leave flat-bottomed, crisp pockets that catch light and shadow. Use a straightedge or templates to guide plunge cuts, then finish with contrasting stains for a sculptural effect.
Topographic resin inlay serving board
Plunge-route stepped 'contour lines' into a hardwood board to form bold pockets, then fill with tinted resin. The bit’s balanced geometry reduces chatter in hardwoods, leaving flat bottoms for bubble-free pours. Sand flush for a striking, food-safe centerpiece.
Stacking tool/desk trays
Make nesting trays and drawer inserts by pocketing flat-bottom cavities sized for tools, stationery, or game components. The 3/4 in. diameter clears material quickly for production-friendly batches with templates; the 1-1/2 in. working length allows deep compartments.
Shadow box frames with clean rabbets
Build shadow boxes and picture frames by routing crisp rabbets on the back for glass and backers. Use a fence to expose only the rabbet width you want; the carbide tips leave clean edges even in MDF or plywood, minimizing tear-out on veneered stock.
