Making a walnut dining table. My stock is 4/4 so it mills down to 3/4 inch, but I want the top to appear thicker, so am adding another 3/4 on the underside. It will not have breadboard ends. I cut two inches off each end of the table top, rolled them under and glued them on. Now I have 1 1/5 end grain to smooth off. I assume a router is the tool for the job. Should I use a spiral straight bit? Thanks. -- Peter

I like spiral bits and if you can find a pattern spiral bit long enough, I say go for it. It seems to me flush trim are much easier to find. More recently I have been using the 3 flute flush trim and so far they doing a nice job.

+1. And walnut sands pretty easily. A few swipes will clear up any tool marks.
