Torquata Butterfly Key Spline Router Bit 1/2in Shank

Create strong loose tenon joints with the Butterfly Key Spline Router Bit

A butterfly key spline bit allows you to make strong loose tennon joints that are either hidden or can be used decoratively – such as butt joints on end-grain, as tray legs or even a simple chopstick stand. It can also be used for drawer and table extension slides.

Run your own moulding using this bit and if necessary, cut a slot using adovetail bit with a 14 degree angle. To run the moulding, setup the centre point of the bit in the centre of the timber and make two passes on either side then machine as neccesary for use in a variety of projects.

For better safety, these bits should be used only in a router table equipped with a fence and not used free hand. Only available in a 1/2in shank to suit material 12 – 45mm high.
