Flush-Trim Bit: The flush-trim bit is used to remove excess material and trim edges flush with the surface. Essentially, it is a straight-cutting bit with a ball-bearing pilot which guides the cutter along the cutting path. It is perfect for trimming veneer, laminate, or other overhanging edges.

Router bits come in a few different sizes, but for general purposes, you will almost always reach for a 1/2-inch router bit. These offer better stability and overall performance than smaller router bits. For fine or slight edge work, a 1/4-inch bit may be preferable.

Some recommended router bits for beginners include straight bits, flush trim bits, and chamfer bits. Straight bits are versatile and can be used for cutting straight or curved lines, while flush trim bits are ideal for trimming edges and surfaces. Chamfer bits are great for creating beveled edges.
