Product Description
The CMT Combination Trimmer Bit - 1/2" x 5/16" at a 22 deg. angle with a 1/4" shank is a professional-grade routing tool engineered for trimming laminate edges with a clean, finished bevel in a single pass. Designed for both handheld routers and router tables, this bit cuts a straight flush edge and a precise 22 deg. bevel simultaneously, eliminating the need for multiple setups when finishing laminate countertops, cabinet surfaces, and decorative panels. With two carbide flutes and specially coated bearings, it delivers smooth, consistent results on a wide range of materials from solid hardwoods to plastic laminates and melamine.
Key Features
- Combination straight and bevel cutting at 22 deg. - trims laminate flush and applies a finished bevel angle in one operation, saving setup time and improving edge consistency.
- Two-flute carbide (HW) cutting design - dual flutes reduce cutting resistance and produce a smoother finish on laminates, hardwoods, and softwoods compared to single-flute alternatives.
- Specially coated bearings - protect the workpiece surface from scorching or marring during guided trimming passes, preserving the integrity of finished laminates and veneers.
- Adjustable cutting depth - the 5/16" cutting height can be varied to achieve precise borders and edges on both soft and hard woods, giving you control over the finished profile.
- 1/4" shank diameter - compatible with a wide range of trim routers and standard router collets, making this bit highly versatile across common laminate trimmer tools.
- Right-hand (RH) rotation - matches the standard rotation direction of most routers for safe, predictable cutting behavior without special setup requirements.
- Compact overall length of 1 7/8" - the short profile reduces vibration and improves stability during trimming operations, particularly on handheld laminate trimmers.
Why This Product
- Single-pass laminate finishing - by combining a flush trim cut and a 22 deg. bevel in one pass, this bit eliminates the need to switch between bits when finishing laminate edges on countertops, shelving, or cabinet components.
- Bearing-guided precision - the specially coated bearing follows the workpiece edge without damaging the substrate, making guided bevel trimming accurate and repeatable without the need for fences or jigs.
- Hardwood carbide (HW) construction - the carbide material maintains cutting sharpness through demanding materials including laminates, melamine, and hardwoods, reducing the frequency of bit replacement.
- Versatile tool compatibility - the 1/4" shank fits standard trim routers and laminate trimmers, so this bit integrates easily into existing shop setups without adapter hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between this combination trimmer bit and a standard bevel trim bit?
A standard bevel trim bit cuts only an angled edge. This combination trimmer bit cuts both a straight flush trim and a 22 deg. bevel angle simultaneously in a single pass, allowing you to finish a laminate edge completely without changing bits or repositioning the workpiece.
What shank size is required to use this bit, and which routers is it compatible with?
This bit uses a 1/4" shank, which is the standard collet size for most handheld trim routers and laminate trimmers. It is also compatible with full-size routers equipped with a 1/4" collet, as well as router tables configured for 1/4" shank bits.
Can this bit be used on materials other than laminates?
Yes. While the bit is specifically designed for laminate trimming applications, its two-flute hardwood carbide (HW) construction also makes it suitable for use on solid hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, MDF, chipboard, melamine, and plastic surfaces. The cutting depth can be varied to achieve precise results across these materials.
What is the purpose of the specially coated bearings on this bit?
The specially coated bearings are designed to protect the workpiece surface while guiding the bit along the edge of the laminate or substrate. The coating prevents the bearing from marking or scorching the material during trimming, which is especially important when working on finished laminate surfaces where appearance is critical.
