Project Ideas
Business
Custom Drawer Organizer Inserts
Offer made-to-measure drawer dividers with 1/4 in dados and interlocking parts in plywood, hardwood, or laminate-faced panels. The bit’s clean cuts and fast feed rates enable efficient batch production for kitchens, workshops, and offices.
Laminate Countertop Trim & Repair
Provide mobile services to re-adhere and trim plastic laminate edges, flush-trim patches, and clean up seams. The solid carbide, double-flute bit delivers chip-free edges on laminate and substrate, ideal for quick on-site turnarounds.
Retail Sign Bases and Acrylic Displays
Produce standardized wooden bases with 1/4 in channels for acrylic signage, menu holders, and point-of-sale displays. Bundle with engraved acrylic panels for cafés, boutiques, and salons; the bit handles both wood and acrylic cleanly.
Flat-Pack Event Stands & Risers
CNC or jig-routed tab-and-slot display stands for markets and trade shows. The straight bit’s accurate, square mortises allow quick assembly and disassembly without hardware, keeping shipping flat and margins healthy.
Workshops + DIY Kits
Sell kits (sign bases, organizers, frames) pre-routed or partially finished, and host classes on routing wood, plastics, and laminate. The 1/4 in bit size and bulk availability make it easy to equip students and standardize jigs.
Creative
Edge-Lit Acrylic Sign + Wood Base
Engrave an acrylic panel and route a 1/4 in x ~3/8 in deep channel in a hardwood base to hold the panel and an LED strip. The double-flute straight bit excels at clean channels in both wood and acrylic, giving a snug fit and smooth walls for even light diffusion.
Checkerboard with Laminate Inlays
Create a chess/checker board by routing 1/4 in square pockets and inlaying contrasting plastic laminate or hardwood tiles. The bit’s rigidity and clean chip evacuation keep pocket bottoms flat and crisp, making glue-up and sanding minimal.
Spline-Reinforced Picture Frames
Cut 1/4 in spline slots across mitered frame corners to add strength and style. The straight bit cuts precise, tearout-free mortises in hardwood; add contrasting wood splines, then trim flush for a decorative, durable frame.
Flat-Pack Desktop Organizer/Laptop Stand
Route 1/4 in slots and mortises in plywood to create interlocking panels that friction-fit together without hardware. Multiple passes can widen slots for thicker material. The bit’s straight profile keeps edges square for stable assembly.
Geometric Wall Panel with Floating Slats
Lay out a grid of 1/4 in dados across a plywood panel, then insert contrasting wood or acrylic slats. The clean, straight-walled grooves from the double flutes make the slats sit flush and tight, producing striking modern wall art.
