Can I use a traditional router bit on a small concrete slab? And if no what can I use? I'm getting ready to make a coffee table. I know the trick where you put silicone in the corners to achieve a bevel but I want to add a few fossils or some petrified wood and Im going to need to sand the corners of that down because I want it in the corner of the table if possible just like this pic:

I'm mounting this top on a coffee table so it most likely will just be a slab that will lay flat on top of the table I built. I was thinking of clamping the top to the base so I can get in there and grind it to fit perfectly then unclamp. Then polish it. The weight should keep it from sliding around I would imagine

Quick answer.... NO.

You will need to get bits designed for concrete. Concrete is very abrasive and will destroy a wood bit in microseconds and not do much of anything to the concrete.
