CMT 800.515.11 6-Piece Cove Cabinet Making Set by CMT is a comprehensive router bit collection engineered for craftsmen who build arched raised panel doors and professional drawer fronts. This six-bit cove cabinetmaking set brings together everything needed to mill elegant cabinet door profiles in a single coordinated system - eliminating the guesswork and frustration that comes with mixing individual bits from different sources. With a 1/2 in. shank and right-hand rotation, this set is designed for use in handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines, making it equally at home in a professional shop or a dedicated woodworking space.

Key Features

• 6-piece cove cabinetmaking system - provides every router bit required for arched raised panel doors and professional drawer fronts in one matched set, so you can move from rail and stile profiles to the raised panel in a single workflow without swapping between incompatible cutters.
• Ogee rail and stile bits included - these dedicated bits eliminate the frustration of setting up reversible cutters, saving setup time and reducing the chance of misaligned profiles on finished doors.
• Raised panel bit with backcutter at 88.9mm (3-1/2 in.) diameter - mills both the front and the back of the panel in a single pass, cutting your machining time in half and delivering consistent panel thickness across every door.
• Super-duty flush trim bit at 19mm (3/4 in.) diameter - delivers a superior cut with minimal chipping even on end grain, resulting in cleaner edges and less sanding time on finished panels.
• Profile A geometry - produces a classic cove door profile that coordinates across all six bits in the set for seamless, tight-fitting joints between rails, stiles, and panels.
• 1/2 in. shank with right-hand rotation - the larger shank diameter reduces vibration and deflection compared to 1/4 in. shank bits, producing smoother surfaces and more accurate profiles at the router table or with a handheld router.
• 2-flute carbide-tipped (TCT) cutting edges - tungsten carbide tips maintain their edge through extended production runs in solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, chipboard, laminates, melamine, and plastic.
• CMT Orange Shield non-stick coating - prevents the bit from heating up, reduces pitch and resin buildup, protects against corrosion, and extends tool life - keeping your bits cleaner and sharper for longer between maintenance sessions.
• SinterHIP Industrial Chrome Carbide - carbide processed via Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) prevents material failure and extends cutting life, giving you more doors per bit before a sharpening is needed.
• Tri-Metal Brazing (Silver-Copper-Silver) - this three-layer brazing method protects the carbide tip when cutting harder wood or composites and reduces the chance of failed welds, so tips stay firmly bonded even under heavy production loads.
• Anti-kickback design - limits the depth of cut in the event of a catch, improving operator safety at the router table.

Why This Product

• One set covers the full door-making process - rather than purchasing rail bits, stile bits, and a raised panel bit separately, this matched six-piece set gives you a complete cove cabinet door solution with profiles that are guaranteed to fit together, saving both money and the time spent researching compatible individual bits.
• The backcutter raised panel bit simplifies double-sided panel milling - because the 88.9mm (3-1/2 in.) raised panel bit machines both the face and the back of the panel in one pass, you avoid the need for a second setup or a second bit, which is especially valuable when running production quantities of cabinet doors.
• Dedicated rail and stile bits replace reversible cutter setups - reversible cutters require careful height and depth adjustments every time you switch between rail and stile cuts; dedicated bits mean you set each bit once and it stays calibrated for its specific cut throughout the job.
• Compatible with a wide range of materials and machines - from solid hardwood and softwood to MDF, melamine, and plastic, and usable in handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines, this set adapts to the variety of materials and setups found in a busy cabinet shop or custom woodworking studio.
