The 5\/16\" bit is used for most joints.\n Inlaid Isoloc joints require  1\/4\" \u0026amp; 3\/8\" bits. All bits are solid carbide up-cut bits for rigidity, smooth cut and long edge life.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch5\u003e\n   Included Bits\n  \u003c\/h5\u003e\n  \u003cul style=\"margin:-3px 0px 0px 0px;\"\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003e\n    1\/4\" diameter x 1\/4\" shank x 3\" long — Leigh #168C — for 1\/8\" - 1-1\/4\" stock\n   \u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003e\n    5\/16\" diameter x 5\/16\" shank x 3\" long — Leigh #170C — for 1\/8\" - 1-1\/4\" stock\n   \u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003e\n    3\/8\" diameter x 3\/8\" shank x 3\" long — Leigh #173C — for 1\/8\" - 1-1\/4\" stock\n   \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   \u003cspan style=\"font-weight:bold;\"\u003e\n    Please Note:\n   \u003c\/span\u003e\n   5\/16\" bit REQUIRES a 5\/16\"(8mm) collet or\n   \u003ca data-prev-url=\"\/8mmx12colletadapter.aspx\" href=\"https:\/\/info.highlandwoodworking.com\/8mmx12colletadapter.aspx\"\u003e\n    collet adapter\n   \u003c\/a\u003e\n   .\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   \u003cspan style=\"font-weight:bold;\"\u003e\n    Please Note:\n   \u003c\/span\u003e\n   3\/8\" bit REQUIRES a 3\/8\" collet or\n   \u003ca data-prev-url=\"\/38x12routercolletadapter.aspx\" href=\"https:\/\/info.highlandwoodworking.com\/38x12routercolletadapter.aspx\"\u003e\n    collet adapter\n   \u003c\/a\u003e\n   .\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c!--\nHigh Quality Bits\nFor the best results, Isoloc joints should be routed with spiral upcut bits. Leigh offers two variants: high speed steel and solid carbide. The spiral upcut design routs cleaner, faster, leaves a smoother finish and dramatically reduces tear out. They are ideally suited for the smooth organic curves of Isoloc joints. Although both produce excellent results, the solid carbide versions are stiffer and hold a keen edge longer than the HSS. The performance of less expensive HSS bits is comparable to solid carbide but lose their edge more quickly. Choose the bit that best suits your needs and budget. Note: The Isoloc bit set 1617I is only available in solid carbide.\nShank Size\nBits with 5\/16\"(8mm) shanks require a 1\/2\" to 8mm collet reducer (Item 172-8) and bits with 3\/8\" shanks require a 1\/2\" to 3\/8\" collet reducer (Item 172-375).\nIsoloc Joint Bit Selection\nAll standard Isoloc joints are routed with a 5\/16\" (8mm) diameter bit. Inlaid and shadow Isoloc joints require two additional router bits, specifically 1\/4\" and 3\/8\". Pin boards for regular Isoloc\njoints must be 3\/4\" thick or greater. Socket\nboards may be any thickness between 1\/8\"\nand 1 1\/4\". Leigh recommends the use of a\nplunge router for Isoloc joints. The cutting\nflute length of the bit (B) must be equal to\nor greater than the thickness of the tail\nboard (B). \n\n--\u003e\n \n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Leigh Jigs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50821984616730,"sku":"105428","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/5167\/3370\/files\/105428d.jpg?v=1768342498","url":"https:\/\/www.highlandwoodworking.com\/products\/leigh-isoloc-carbide-bit-set","provider":"Highland Woodworking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
