Product Description
CMT 800.505.11 13-Piece Router Bit Set with 1/2 in. Shank by CMT is a comprehensive collection of carbide-tipped router bits designed to meet the everyday demands of professional woodworkers and serious hobbyists. Built around a 1/2 in. shank for maximum stability and reduced vibration, this 13-piece set covers the most frequently used router bit profiles - giving craftsmen a single, organized solution for edge forming, joinery, trimming, grooving, and decorative profiling across a wide range of materials. Whether you are working at a router table, with a handheld router, or on a CNC routing machine, this set delivers versatility and professional-grade performance in a compact, portable case.
Key Features
- 13 most-used router bit profiles included - covers straight cutting, flush trimming, mortising, cove, roundover, rabbet, ogee, dovetail, V-groove, chamfer, and round nose profiles so you can handle virtually any general woodworking or cabinet-making task without switching sets.
- 1/2 in. shank diameter - the larger shank provides greater rigidity and reduced vibration compared to smaller shanks, resulting in cleaner cuts, smoother profiles, and improved accuracy on demanding materials.
- Hardwood carbide (HW) cutting edges - industrial-grade carbide tips maintain a sharp edge longer than high-speed steel, reducing the frequency of replacements and keeping your work consistent through hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, chipboard, laminates, melamine, and plastic.
- CMT Orange Shield non-stick coating - prevents bit heating, reduces pitch and resin buildup, and protects against corrosion, extending tool life and reducing the need for frequent cleaning during heavy use.
- SinterHIP Industrial Chrome Carbide processing - carbide processed via Hot Isostatic Pressing prevents material failure at the cutting edge, delivering extended cutting life even in demanding production environments.
- Right-hand (RH) rotation - compatible with the standard rotation direction of handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines, ensuring safe, predictable cutting behavior out of the box.
- 2-flute design - twin cutting edges provide a balance between chip clearance and surface quality, producing smooth finishes on both solid wood and sheet goods.
- Compact carrying case included - keeps all 13 bits organized, protected, and easily portable so your full router bit collection is always ready at the bench or on the job site.
Why This Product
- One set replaces 13 individual purchases - the 800.505.11 bundles CMT's most frequently reached-for profiles into a single case, eliminating the need to source bits separately and ensuring you always have the right profile on hand for general woodworking, cabinet making, and decorative edge work.
- Professional-grade carbide and coating for long-term value - the combination of SinterHIP Industrial Chrome Carbide and the Orange Shield non-stick coating means these bits resist wear, corrosion, and resin buildup, making this set a durable investment rather than a disposable starter kit.
- Versatile compatibility across machines and materials - the 1/2 in. shank fits handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines, and the bit profiles cut cleanly through solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, chipboard, laminates, melamine, and plastic, covering virtually any woodworking material you encounter.
- Organized and portable storage - the included compact case protects bits from damage and keeps all 13 profiles immediately identifiable, reducing setup time and the risk of losing individual bits between projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What router machines are compatible with this 13-piece set?
The CMT 800.505.11 is compatible with handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines. All bits in the set feature a 1/2 in. shank, which is the standard size accepted by most mid-size and full-size router collets. Always confirm your router accepts a 1/2 in. collet before use.
What materials can these router bits cut through?
The bits in this set are designed for use with solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, chipboard, laminates, melamine, and plastic. The carbide-tipped (HW) cutting edges are hard enough to handle dense materials like hardwood and abrasive sheet goods like MDF without premature dulling.
What does the CMT Orange Shield coating do for these bits?
The Orange Shield non-stick coating helps prevent the bit from heating up during use, reduces pitch and resin buildup on the cutting edges, and protects the bit body against corrosion. This means less frequent cleaning between cuts and a longer overall service life for each bit in the set.
What is SinterHIP carbide processing and why does it matter?
SinterHIP stands for Hot Isostatic Pressing, an industrial carbide processing method that applies very high pressure and temperature uniformly to the carbide material during manufacturing. This process eliminates internal voids and micro-defects that can lead to chipping or premature edge failure, resulting in cutting edges that last longer and perform more consistently over time.
