CMT Flush Trim Bit 3/4" x 1" with 1/2" Shank is a professional-grade carbide-tipped routing bit engineered for precision flush trimming, laminate work, and template routing. Designed for right-hand rotation and compatible with both handheld routers and router tables, this bit delivers clean, accurate cuts that match a template or adjacent surface exactly - making it an essential tool for woodworkers who demand consistent, repeatable results across a wide range of materials.

Key Features

• 3/4" cutting diameter with 1" cutting height - provides a generous material contact zone for stable, controlled flush trimming in a single pass without multiple setups.
• 1/2" shank - the larger shank diameter reduces vibration and flex during cutting, resulting in smoother surface finishes and improved bit stability at the collet.
• -5 deg. cutting angle - the negative shear angle is optimized for laminates and veneer surfaces, reducing tearout and producing a cleaner edge with less chipping.
• 2-flute carbide (HW) construction - hard metal carbide tips stay sharp longer than high-speed steel alternatives, extending service life especially when trimming abrasive materials like laminates and melamine.
• Right-hand rotation (RH) - matches standard router spindle direction, ensuring immediate compatibility with the vast majority of handheld routers and router table setups.
• 3 13/32" total length - the extended total length allows access to deeper workpieces and provides clearance for template work where shorter bits may not reach.
• Precision template following - the ball-bearing pilot guide runs along the template edge to replicate the pattern accurately, making it ideal for pattern copying and mortise-through work.
• Designed for through mortises - the geometry and cutting height make this bit excellent for producing clean through mortises in addition to standard flush trimming applications.

Why This Product

• The 1" cutting height gives woodworkers the ability to flush trim thicker stock and deeper laminate edges in a single pass - reducing handling time and the risk of step marks from multiple passes.
• The -5 deg. cutting angle is specifically suited for precision laminate and veneer trimming where surface quality matters most, helping avoid the chipped or feathered edges common with straight-cut bits.
• Hard metal (HW) carbide construction means the bit holds a sharp edge through extended use on abrasive engineered materials, reducing the frequency of bit changes during production runs or detailed template work.
• With a 1/2" shank and compatibility with handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines, this bit transitions easily between setups - making it a versatile single-bit solution for flush trimming, pattern copying, and mortise work.
