Resin resources

bradleyheathhays · November 24

I'm jumping back into woodworking specifically to learn more about resin tables and similar projects. I'm searched all the woodworking forums that have come up on google but I haven't seen any forums specifically dedicated to resin topics. Is there something like this around, maybe sponsored by one of the resin suppliers that I haven't stumbled upon yet? I'd hate to keep bothering general woodworking forums with resin questions.

Also, earlier in my research I found a supplier that had a page of many of the tools you need when working with resin tables and one of those was a 3" 4 blade router bit that planed a surface. For the life of me I can't find that supplier's page again. Does this sound familiar to anyone? It's not Black Forest or Stone Coat Countertop. If not, would anyone have a good suggestion for a similar router bit? The one listed on that particular supplier's page was about $100.

The resin talk is fine. I like resin tables.
The kind of router bit you are looking for is a spoil board bit.

I wouldn't go any cheaper than $100 for one. It may seem like a lot of money but to get a reputable brand you will pay close to that or more. The ones with the removable carbide cutter heads are more expensive but your essentially getting 4 times the life of a regular carbide bit because you can rotate the cutters 4 times before replacing/resharpening.
