CMT Flush Trim Bit - 3/4" Diameter x 1" Cutting Height, 1/4" Shank by CMT is a precision routing bit engineered for flush trimming laminates, veneers, and solid wood surfaces to a template or adjacent surface. With a 2-tooth carbide-tipped design and a right-hand rotation, this bit delivers clean, accurate results whether you are pattern routing on a router table, trimming plastic edging, or creating through mortises in a workpiece. The 1/4" shank makes it compatible with a wide range of handheld routers and router tables, while the -5 deg. cutting angle helps produce smooth, chip-free edges on demanding materials.

Key Features

• 3/4" Cutting Diameter - sized to trace templates cleanly and remove material efficiently without deflection, making it ideal for flush trimming laminates and pattern work.
• 1" Cutting Height - provides full engagement with workpieces up to 1" thick, so you can trim edge banding, laminates, and veneers in a single pass.
• -5 deg. Cutting Angle - the slightly negative shear angle reduces tearout and produces a smoother finish on laminates, melamine, and solid hardwood surfaces.
• 2-Flute HW (Carbide) Construction - two cutting edges extend tool life and help balance heat dissipation, keeping the bit running cool during repetitive template or laminate trimming operations.
• 1/4" Shank - fits the majority of handheld routers and compact router tables, giving this bit broad compatibility across common workshop setups.
• Right-Hand Rotation - standard RH rotation works with conventional router motor direction, requiring no special setup or collet adapters.
• 2-29/32" Total Length - long enough to seat securely in the collet while still providing adequate clearance above the workpiece for template work and pattern copying.
• Designed for Precision Laminate and Template Work - engineered specifically for finish-quality trimming on laminates and quick template routing, as well as making through mortises, reducing the need for secondary sanding or hand-fitting.

Why This Product

• The -5 deg. cutting angle and 2-flute HW carbide design work together to minimize tearout on laminates and melamine - materials that commonly chip with lesser bits - giving you cleaner edges straight off the router.
• At 1" of cutting height, this bit handles full-thickness laminate panels and edge banding in one pass rather than requiring multiple setups, saving time on production and cabinetry work.
• The 1/4" shank broadens compatibility to include compact trim routers and standard routers alike, so this single bit fits multiple machines in the same shop without adapters.
• CMT designed this series specifically for precision work on laminates and quick template routing as well as through mortises, meaning the geometry is purpose-built for these demanding applications rather than adapted from a general-purpose profile.
