Router Safety Tips:
It's easy to prevent mishaps if you take a few simple precautions.

1) Rockler recommends using 1/2'' shank router bits whenever possible. 1/2'' shanks provide better stability with less vibration to produce a smoother cut and longer cutter life.
2) Make multiple light passes rather than one heavy cut.
3) Install your router bit so that 90% of the shank is inside the collet. Here's a rule of thumb: fully insert the bit, then pull it back 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch.
4) Use a router table whenever possible.
5) When using large diameter bits, reduce the RPM of your router. Then test your set-up on scrap lumber.
6) Always follow your router manufacturer's recommendations.

I purchased 3/4 straight bit with 1/2 shank and 23/32 straight bit with 1/2 shank. I used the latter today cutting dado's for three cabinets and it cut like butter. Great price, great product, and excellent service.

This is very useful for making a very wide rabbit or a deep groove. However, make sure the bit is well secured not bottomed out before starting! make deep or wide cuts in small stages just shy of 1/8th inch per pass max! and feed the wood on deep cuts VERRRY SLLOOOWWWWYYYYY! Only two blades on this bit and if you rush it, it will not give a smooth cut. But this is a must have bit for sure.
