CMT 800.001.00 15-Piece Router Bit Set with 1/4" Shank by CMT is a comprehensive collection of straight and profile router bits engineered for professional woodworkers and serious hobbyists alike. Built from fatigue-proof steel with micrograin carbide cutting edges and finished with CMT's signature orange non-stick PTFE coating, this organized bit set is ready to tackle a wide range of routing tasks - from dadoes and grooves to decorative profiles and flush trimming. Whether you work with a handheld router, a router table, or a CNC routing machine, this 15-piece set provides a curated selection of the most-used bit profiles in a single, convenient package.

Key Features

• Fatigue-proof steel construction - resists the stress and flex of repeated routing passes, helping each bit maintain its integrity over extended use in demanding woodworking applications.
• Micrograin carbide cutting edges - the fine-grain carbide composition delivers a sharper, longer-lasting edge compared to standard carbide, meaning cleaner cuts and fewer bit changes between projects.
• Orange non-stick PTFE coating - reduces pitch and resin buildup on the bit body, prevents overheating, and protects against corrosion, extending the service life of every bit in the set.
• 1/4" shank diameter - compatible with a wide range of handheld routers, benchtop router tables, and compact CNC machines that accept 1/4" collets, giving this set broad machine compatibility.
• 2-flute (2-tooth) geometry - the twin-flute design balances chip clearance and cutting speed, producing smooth surfaces in solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, chipboard, laminates, melamine, and plastic.
• 15 organized, ready-to-use bits - the set covers straight cuts, mortising, roundovers, ogee profiles, rabbeting, chamfering, coves, round nose, V-grooving, dovetails, panel piloting, and flush trimming, eliminating the need to purchase multiple individual bits for a complete shop setup.
• Right-hand (RH) rotation - standard rotation matches virtually all conventional handheld routers and router tables, ensuring straightforward, out-of-the-box compatibility.

Why This Product

• A complete starting toolkit in one package - with 15 of the most commonly used straight and profile bit types included, this set removes the guesswork of building a bit collection one piece at a time, saving time and reducing upfront cost for woodworkers equipping a new shop or expanding an existing one.
• Professional-grade materials at a set price - fatigue-proof steel, micrograin carbide, and PTFE coating are the same quality markers found on CMT's individual professional bits, meaning buyers are not sacrificing material quality for the convenience of a set.
• Broad material compatibility - the carbide-tipped, 2-flute design performs across solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, chipboard, laminates, melamine, and plastic, making this set a versatile solution for cabinet making, general woodworking, and specialty profile work.
• Reduced maintenance between uses - the non-stick PTFE coating actively resists pitch, resin, and corrosion buildup, so bits stay cleaner longer and are easier to maintain, reducing downtime during production work.
