Overview
Use our Louver Router Bits to create your own shutter louvers in 2-1/2" or 3-1/2" widths. The louvers interface seamless with other elements of the Rockler Shutter System. The included ball-bearing guide runs along the middle of the shutter slat—just rout one side, then turn the slat around to rout the other side. 1/2" shanks ensure a smooth chatter-free cut.
To learn how you can build your custom shutters with ease, view all of our Rockler Shutter Jig Templates and select the style that is perfect for your application.

This router bit illustrates a sloping profile in the shutter edges. However, the cutting edge only will contact the wood at the very edge of the shutter because the guide bushing holds the cutting edge away from the desired profile. The amount of wood removed is so small, the bit is not effective. I completed my project by rounding over each edge which works quite well - just does not look like the pictures of the commercial shutters.
Editor's note: To get the shown shutter slat profile using this bit one uses it in a router table, using a featherboard to hold the center of the slat flat against the table fence as it is fed past the bit. It appears this reviewer has not followed this procedure and this is why enough material is not being removed for him.
