The CMT Solid Carbide Laser Point Bit - 1/4" x 3/8" with a 35 deg. angle is a precision routing bit engineered for sign making, fine lettering, and decorative V-groove work. Built from solid micrograin carbide with a perfectly balanced single-tooth design, this bit delivers laser-accurate incisions in a wide range of materials - from hardwood and softwood to MDF, laminates, and plastics. Whether you are raising the bit to create a delicate fine point inscription or engaging the full 1/4" diameter for bold, highlighted lettering, this tool provides the control and durability that professional routing demands.

Key Features

• Solid Micrograin Carbide Construction - micrograin carbide cutting edges resist wear and maintain sharpness through extended production runs, reducing the need for frequent bit changes.
• Three Super Sharp Cutting Edges - multiple cutting edges work together to eliminate burning and tearout, delivering clean, crisp grooves on every pass without scorching the workpiece.
• Perfectly Balanced Single-Tooth (T=1) Design - the precisely balanced geometry minimizes vibration during cutting, giving you the accuracy needed for fine lettering and intricate decorative incisions.
• 35 deg. Laser Point Angle - a narrow 35 deg. included angle produces sharp, well-defined V-grooves ideal for sign making and detailed lettering where clean line definition is critical.
• 1/4" Shank with Super Strong Steel - a robust 1/4" steel shank ensures a secure, chatter-free grip in standard router collets, compatible with handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines.
• Versatile Cutting Profile - raise the bit for a delicate fine point incision or engage the full 1/4" diameter to render bold highlighted lettering, giving you two distinct results from a single tool.
• Right-Hand (RH) Rotation - standard right-hand rotation is compatible with conventional router spindle direction, ensuring straightforward setup and safe, predictable operation.

Why This Product

• The 35 deg. point angle and three super sharp carbide cutting edges work together to produce crisp, burn-free V-grooves - making this bit a precise solution for sign making, lettering, and decorative routing where surface quality matters.
• Solid micrograin carbide construction throughout the cutting edges means longer tool life compared to tipped alternatives, reducing downtime and replacement costs in production environments.
• The perfectly balanced single-tooth design eliminates the vibration that causes wandering cuts, giving woodworkers, sign makers, and CNC operators the confidence to work on fine detail work without risk of ruining the workpiece.
• The 1/4" shank fits a wide range of routers and CNC routing machines right out of the box, making this a versatile addition to any shop that works with hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, laminates, melamine, or plastics.
