Must-Have Router Bits for Beginners

Every Beginner woodworker needs these router bits in their shop!

A rabbiting bit is a great honorable mention. Especially using them to open up a hole if you don’t have a big enough hole saw. I also like them to make custom shiplap or put tenons on table aprons.

Either you have a spiral (down) cut bit now, or you'll eventually get one, and lament not having it earlier. It's the difference between making something beautiful, and making something you learnt from.

I would add a 1/4" round over, a coping bit, and a rabbit bit. I also have several ogees but I haven't used them in years. the whole "ogee" phase was short lived ;P
