Adding finger grooves to a cutting board is a nice touch. They make it a lot easier to pick up the cutting board, and also look nice along the edges. This can be easily done on a router table.
The router bit used for this is task-specific and is used only for adding finger grooves to cutting boards. This is the bit used on this cutting board. The bits are available in different sizes and can be matched up to the thickness of the cutting board you’re working on.
Set the height of the router bit so the bit’s profile is centered on the thickness of your board and make the fence even with the ball bearing. Centering is made a lot easier by using MicroJig’s Fit Finder.
Add stop blocks to the router table fence to establish start and stop points for the cut. MicroJig’s MatchFit clamps work great for these stop blocks.
Be sure to check out the wealth of cutting board info we have on WWGOA.com.
