Product Description
The CMT Flush Trim Bit for Laminates (806.128.61) is a diamond-tipped, 2-flute routing bit engineered for precision flush trimming, template routing, and pattern copying on laminates and veneers. With a 1/2 in. diameter, 7/16 in. cutting height, and a compact 1/4 in. shank, this right-hand rotation bit is sized for handheld routers and router tables alike. Whether you need clean, repeatable results on melamine edges or smooth flush cuts on plastic and hardwood surfaces, this CMT bit delivers the control and finish quality that demanding trim and laminate work requires.
Key Features
- Diamond Polycrystalline (DP) Cutting Material - the diamond-grade tip material provides exceptional hardness and edge retention, making it well-suited for abrasive laminate surfaces that wear down standard carbide quickly.
- 2-Flute Design - two cutting edges balance feed rate and chip clearance, producing smoother surface finishes on laminates and reducing tear-out along trimmed edges.
- 1/4 in. Shank - the compact shank size gives this bit broad compatibility with handheld routers and router tables that accept 1/4 in. collets, keeping it versatile for shop and jobsite use.
- Right-Hand Rotation - standard RH rotation works with conventional router direction, making setup straightforward and consistent across machines.
- 7/16 in. Cutting Height - the cutting depth is optimized for laminate sheets and veneer thickness ranges, providing a clean flush trim without excessive bit exposure.
- 2-9/32 in. Total Length - the overall length gives enough reach for template work and through-mortise applications while keeping the bit stable under load.
Why This Product
- Designed specifically for flush trimming laminates and veneers - the DP diamond cutting material resists the abrasive nature of laminate surfaces that cause premature wear on standard bits, extending cutting life in repetitive laminate work.
- Equally capable as a template routing bit - follow a guide bearing or template and the 7/16 in. cutting height handles typical laminate and thin-material layups with precision and consistency.
- The 1/4 in. shank makes this bit accessible to a wide range of routers, from compact trim routers used for edge finishing to full-size router tables used for production work.
- With a 2-9/32 in. total length, this bit is also suited for through-mortise work, adding utility beyond basic flush trimming for woodworkers who need one bit to handle multiple precision tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of material is this flush trim bit designed to cut?
This bit is specifically designed for precision work on laminates and veneers. The diamond polycrystalline (DP) cutting material handles abrasive laminate surfaces effectively, and the bit is also suitable for template routing with excellent finishing results on related materials.
What does the DP designation mean for this bit?
DP stands for Diamond Polycrystalline - an extremely hard cutting material that provides superior edge retention on abrasive materials like laminates. This makes it a better long-term choice for laminate trimming compared to standard carbide-tipped bits in the same application.
Can this bit be used for through-mortise work?
Yes. According to CMT, these flush trim bits are excellent for making through mortises, in addition to their primary use in laminate trimming and template routing.
What routers are compatible with this bit?
This bit has a 1/4 in. shank, which fits any handheld router, router table, or CNC routing machine equipped with a 1/4 in. collet. The right-hand (RH) rotation is standard for conventional router operation, so no special setup is required.
