  • Looking for ship lap router bit

    EVERYONE seems to be watching HGTV and has been bitten by the ship lap craze.  A basic ship lap joint is just two opposing rabbets that overlap as tight or loose as you wish depending on how rustic you want it to look. You can use a tongue and groove for this, but since it is usually thin material fastened to a wall as opposed to thick flooring that would stand up to wear and tear, usually a rabbet joint is quickest and easiest.

    Material thickness will dictate whether you want to use a tongue and groove cut.  Some have "V" profiles for added detail, but that is not traditional ship lap, but is often used as wainscoting.  They can be found at https://www.woodline.com/collections/tongue-groove-1/products/tongue-groove-router-bits?variant=15147553607.
