Hi, can you please help me identify this router bit? It came in a set of bits and there’s no further explanation. I am seeing this for the first time and have absolutely no idea how and what for could I use it. (Though I am an ultimate routing rookie).
The tip looks like a V shape and there is one straight side blade, though it looks like they’re not connected.
The LLM’s very confident assertion that it’s a plug-cutter drill bit is obviously wrong, but scrolling down the image search a bit reveals the truth (allegory for how “AI” is useful but no panacea?). It’s a Panel Pilot bit. If something like laminate or OSB is overlaid on top of an opening like for a window or sink, you plunge it through the cutout area and use the unsharpened part like a crude follower bearing. I would be very careful using it on any material more than 1/4-1/2" (~ 6-13mm) .
It also looks like yours is way shittier than the one in the link, LOL, but that could be a trick of the camera angle.
Cheers. Okay, now I even understand that little pictogram near it… So not very much use for me.
Eh, no wonder it looks shittier, I guess the whole set cost about the same as the one you mentioned… 🤭😅
Where’d you get the set?
Lidl. It’s Parkside.
Hmm, doesn’t seem to be a brand sold in my hemisphere; Search keeps wanting to correct me to Bosch?
