Dovetail bits are cutting tools used in woodworking and other precision cutting applications. They are called "dovetail" bits because they are designed to cut dovetail joints, which are used to join two pieces of wood together at a 90-degree angle. Dovetail bits are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, depending on the specific dovetail joint being cut. They typically have a tapered profile with angled cutting edges that create the distinctive "V" shape of a dovetail joint. Dovetail bits are often used in router machines to cut dovetail joints in drawers, boxes, and other furniture pieces. They can also be used to create decorative edges and profiles on other woodworking projects.
