Hey guys I have a question about router bit size. My wife does stained glass and wants me to build her a box to store her glass in. It'll be made of the Cedar I milled earlier this summer. Basically just a open front box with vertical dividers so she can separate the different colors of glass.
I bought some 3/16 hardboard for dividers and will be using a router to cut slots in the top bottom and back of the box for them to fit into. I'll be gluing them in.
My question is this: Do I buy a 3/16 router bit or a 7/32 so I don't have to be spot on with my measurements for the hardboard to fit? I've found both online. Also, I have been looking at upcut spiral for this as opposed to a regular double flute straight bit. Whiteside also sells a "veining" bit that looks like a stubby spiral. I suppose the slots I will be cutting will be about 1/4" deep.
Any suggestions as for type and size for this project?
thanks,
Ian
