Product Description
CMT 812.600.11 Straight Bit Long Series - 10mm Diameter, 1/2 in. Shank is a professional-grade routing bit engineered for deep straight cuts, dadoes, grooves, and panel joinery in a wide range of materials. Built with micrograin carbide cutters on a 1/2 in. shank, this long-series straight bit delivers razor-sharp, smooth, and precise results even under heavy routing loads - making it a reliable choice for handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines alike.
Key Features
- Micrograin Carbide Cutters (HW Material Grade) - made from special Fatigue Proof steel and micrograin carbide, these double-faced cutters handle even the heaviest workloads while maintaining a smooth, precise cut edge on every pass.
- Long Series Design with 1 1/4 in. Cutting Height - the extended cutting height allows deeper passes in solid hardwood, plywood, MDF, and composites, reducing the need for multiple setups or repeated repositioning.
- CMT Orange Shield Non-Stick PTFE Coating - the trademark orange surface treatment helps prevent resin, pitch, and other residue from bonding to the bit, keeping the cutter cleaner and extending working life between cleanings.
- Exceptional Chip Ejection - the 2-flute geometry promotes efficient removal of chips and waste material during cutting, resulting in a cleaner finished edge and more consistent performance throughout the cut.
- Right-Hand Rotation - compatible with all standard right-hand router configurations, including handheld routers and router tables used in woodworking and cabinetry applications.
- 1/2 in. Shank Diameter - the full 1/2 in. shank provides maximum stability and reduced vibration during deep cuts, contributing to a cleaner finished surface and more accurate routing.
Why This Product
- The 1 1/4 in. cutting height on a long-series straight bit lets woodworkers rout deep dadoes, grooves, and template profiles in a single setup - saving time and improving consistency across repeated cuts.
- The CMT Orange Shield PTFE coating addresses one of the most common issues with router bits - resin and pitch buildup - by actively resisting residue adhesion, which helps maintain cutting sharpness and reduces downtime for cleaning.
- With a 2-flute micrograin carbide design and exceptional chip ejection, this bit is well-suited to demanding routing tasks in solid hardwood, melamine, laminates, and MDF - materials that quickly dull lesser bits.
- The 1/2 in. shank and 2 3/4 in. total length make this bit rigid and balanced enough for use on CNC routing machines as well as conventional router tables, giving it broad compatibility across professional shop setups.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can this long-series straight bit cut?
This bit is suited for routing solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, chipboard, laminates, melamine, and plastic. The micrograin carbide cutters are designed to handle even demanding materials while delivering a clean, smooth edge.
What is the purpose of the orange PTFE coating on CMT router bits?
The orange non-stick PTFE surface treatment helps prevent resin, pitch, and other residue from accumulating on the bit during use. This keeps the cutter running cleaner, reduces friction-related heat buildup, and helps extend the usable life of the bit between maintenance sessions.
Why choose a long-series straight bit over a standard-length version?
The long-series design provides a 1 1/4 in. cutting height, which allows deeper routing passes in a single setup. This is especially valuable for through-cuts in thicker stock, deep dado work, or any application where a standard-length bit cannot reach the required cutting depth.
Is this bit compatible with CNC routing machines?
Yes. The 1/2 in. shank diameter, right-hand rotation, and 2 3/4 in. total length make this bit compatible with handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines that accept a 1/2 in. collet in a right-hand configuration.
