Specialty Router Bits – Frame Making, Handrails & More

Specialty Router Bits for Picture Frames, Handrails, Molding, and Unique Profiles

Some woodworking projects demand a bit that does not fit neatly into a standard category. Infinity Tools' specialty router bit collection covers the profiles used for picture frame making, crown and cove molding, handrail shaping, wainscot paneling, keyhole picture hanging, flute and bead decoration, and other distinctive applications that elevate furniture and millwork beyond the ordinary.

Frame-making bits are a standout category. The 6-piece Master Frame Making Router Bit Set and the 8-piece Professional Picture Frame Router Bit Set provide the rabbet, profile, and joining bits needed to produce gallery-quality frames entirely at the router table. Our picture frame making bits are sold individually as well for woodworkers who want to build a custom selection.

Crown molding and cove profiles add architectural detail to cabinets, furniture, and built-ins. The 7-piece Master Crown Molding Router Bit Set combines crown, cove, and flat profiles for building up complex molding sequences. Handrail bits like the 1/2" Handrail Router Bit shape the full handrail profile—top and sides—in two passes for a smooth, ergonomic result.

Keyhole, Wainscot, and Flute & Bead Profiles

Keyhole bits rout the slotted opening that lets a panel hang flush on a screw head without visible hardware. Wainscot paneling and flute-and-bead bits create period-correct details for traditional furniture and interior millwork. Browse the broader carbide router bits collection or explore architectural molding bits for additional molding profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of specialty router bits does Infinity Tools offer?

The specialty collection includes picture frame making bits, crown and cove molding bits, handrail bits, keyhole hanging bits, wainscot paneling bits, flute-and-bead bits, and T-slot channel hinge bits—profiles used for distinctive millwork and furniture applications.

What bits do I need to make picture frames at the router table?

You need a profile bit to shape the face, a rabbet bit to create the recess for the glass and artwork, and an appropriate joinery bit to connect the mitered corners. The 6-piece Master Frame Making Set and 8-piece Professional set include all required profiles.

What is a keyhole router bit used for?

A keyhole bit plunges into the workpiece and then routes a narrow slot, leaving a T-shaped channel. The wide entry accommodates a screw head while the slot locks the panel in place, allowing wall mounting without visible hardware.

What is a handrail router bit?

A handrail router bit shapes the full cross-section profile of a stair or deck handrail. Handrail bits typically make two passes—one per side—to produce the curved top and chamfered side profiles that make a rail comfortable to grip and visually refined.

What is a wainscot paneling router bit?

A wainscot paneling bit set cuts the raised or recessed profiles used on panel inserts in traditional wainscoting installations. The bits work in conjunction to shape both the raised center and the coved or stepped outer edge of each panel.

What is a flute-and-bead bit used for?

Flute-and-bead bits rout the alternating rounded channels and ridges used to decorate furniture legs, pilasters, and column shafts. The Flute & Bead Router Bit Set provides matched profiles for consistent spacing.

What crown molding router bits does Infinity Tools offer?

The 7-piece Master Crown Molding Router Bit Set covers a full range of crown and cove profiles for building up complex architectural moldings. Individual crown and cove bits are also available in the architectural molding collection.

Can I use specialty router bits in a handheld router?

Smaller specialty bits such as keyhole and flute-and-bead bits can be used handheld with appropriate guiding. Larger profiles like crown molding and handrail bits are safer and more consistent when table-mounted. Browse our router tables & accessories for table options.
