CMT Flush Trim Router Bit with Double Bearing - 3/4" Diameter x 1" Cutting Height, 1/2" Shank is a precision-engineered trimming bit built for woodworkers who demand clean, accurate results on laminates, veneers, and template-guided work. Featuring a double-bearing guide system, this CMT bit follows templates with exceptional consistency, making it a go-to choice for flush trimming, pattern routing, and through mortise work. The 1/2" shank provides a secure, vibration-minimizing fit in both handheld routers and router tables, while the 2-flute carbide construction delivers smooth, controlled cuts across a wide range of materials.

Key Features

• Double Bearing Guide System - two bearings instead of one provide added stability and template-following accuracy, reducing bit deflection during precision flush trimming and pattern routing passes.
• 3/4" Cutting Diameter with 1" Cutting Height - a generous cutting envelope that handles laminates, hardwoods, softwoods, and composites in a single controlled pass, minimizing the need for multiple setups.
• -5 deg. Cutting Angle - the slightly negative shear angle reduces tearout and produces a cleaner surface finish, particularly valuable when trimming laminates or cross-grain edges.
• 2-Flute Carbide Construction (HW Material) - dual cutting edges balance chip clearance and surface quality, giving woodworkers a clean finish with efficient material removal on both solid wood and sheet goods.
• 1/2" Shank - the full 1/2" shank diameter maximizes rigidity in the collet, reducing chatter and helping maintain a straight, flush cut even during extended trimming sessions.
• Right-Hand Rotation - standard RH rotation is compatible with the vast majority of routers and router table setups, ensuring broad machine compatibility without special tooling requirements.
• 3 13/32" Total Length - the extended overall length provides adequate reach for through mortise work and deep template applications while maintaining the balance needed for handheld router use.

Why This Product

• The double bearing design is specifically engineered for precision work - where a single bearing might allow slight movement, dual bearings keep the bit tracking the template edge firmly, which translates directly to tighter tolerances on laminate trimming and pattern copying.
• At -5 deg. cutting angle, this bit is purpose-built to handle the demanding surface quality requirements of laminate and veneer work, where tearout or a rough edge finish would ruin the workpiece.
• The 1" cutting height combined with the 3 13/32" total length makes this bit equally capable for through mortise applications as for standard flush trimming, reducing the need to switch between multiple specialized bits.
• With a 1/2" shank and right-hand rotation, this bit fits directly into standard router collets across handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines - no adapters or special hardware required.
