CMT 811.200.11 Straight Bit Short Series - 20mm Diameter, 1/4" Shank is a precision-ground, two-flute router bit engineered for demanding production work across solid hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, composites, and more. Built from micrograin carbide bonded to fatigue-proof steel, this compact short-series straight bit delivers clean, accurate cuts in dadoes, grooves, rabbets, and mortises while maintaining the balance and concentricity that professional woodworkers and CNC operators depend on.

Key Features

• Micrograin Carbide Cutting Edges (HW) - a harder, finer carbide grade holds a sharper edge longer, reducing the frequency of bit changes and keeping production moving efficiently even under heavy, repeated cuts.
• Fatigue-Proof Steel Body - the body material is specifically engineered to resist flex and stress fracture under high-cycle workloads, giving the bit durability that stands up to industrial-scale routing sessions.
• CMT Orange Non-Stick P.T.F.E. Coating - the proprietary orange surface treatment prevents resin, pitch, and other residue from adhering to the bit body, reducing heat buildup, extending tool life, and making cleanup faster between cuts.
• 2-Flute (2-Tooth) Design - twin cutting edges balance chip evacuation with feed rate, producing smooth, consistent groove walls in natural wood and composite sheet goods.
• Short-Series Profile - the compact 2" total length and 3/4" cutting height reduce deflection during routing, improving cut accuracy and surface finish quality in shallow-depth applications.
• 1/4" Shank - fits a wide range of handheld routers and router tables with standard 1/4" collets, making this bit highly versatile across common workshop setups.
• Right-Hand Rotation (RH) - standard RH rotation is compatible with virtually all conventional router motors, so no special tooling or adapters are needed.
• Strict Quality Testing for Tolerance, Balance, and Concentricity - every unit passes rigorous dimensional and dynamic checks before leaving the factory, ensuring the bit runs true and cuts to precise dimensions without vibration-induced error.

Why This Product

• The micrograin carbide construction paired with fatigue-proof steel means this bit is built to handle repeated heavy-duty cuts in plywood, composites, and natural woods without premature wear - making it a smart choice for shops that route high volumes daily.
• The CMT orange P.T.F.E. non-stick coating directly addresses one of the most common productivity killers in woodworking: resin and pitch buildup that slows the bit, burns the workpiece, and shortens tool life - keeping cuts clean from the first pass to the last.
• The short-series form factor is purpose-built for applications where a standard-length bit would flex or chatter - the reduced overhang means tighter tolerances and a better surface finish when routing dadoes, grooves, or mortises to a 3/4" cutting depth.
• With a 1/4" shank and right-hand rotation, this 20mm straight bit slots into standard routers and router tables without modification, giving both hobbyist shops and production environments an immediately useful tool for precise straight-cut work.
