Dado & Planer Router Bits for Grooves, Rabbets & Surface Work
Dado and planer router bits let you cut flat-bottomed grooves, wide rabbets, and skim surfaces directly at the router table or with a handheld router. Unlike a table-saw dado set, these bits work without a separate saw and are particularly useful for stopped grooves, angled dados, and surfacing operations on wide panels.
What to Look for in a Dado or Planer Bit
Quality dado and planer bits feature carbide cutting edges for durability on hardwoods and sheet goods, precision-ground bodies to prevent deflection, and anti-kickback geometry. Shank size — typically 1/2" for stability — matters when making wide, heavy cuts. This collection is actively curated, so selection evolves as new tooling is evaluated and approved to meet Infinity Tools' quality standards.
