Product Description
The CMT 822.006.11 Two-Flute Slot Cutter is an industrial-quality, carbide-tipped routing blade engineered for precise horizontal slot cutting in solid hardwood, softwood, timber, and composite materials. Designed to pair with a compatible slot cutter arbor from the CMT 800.606 series, this cutter delivers smooth, clean grooves for biscuit joinery, spline routing, panel connectors, and inlay work. With a 1 7/8 in. cutting diameter, a 7/32 in. cutting height, and a 12mm bore, it is well-suited for both handheld router and router table setups where accuracy and edge quality are essential.
Key Features
- Two-Flute Carbide-Tipped Design (HW Material) - hardmetal carbide tips on both flutes maintain sharpness through repeated passes in solid wood and timber, reducing downtime for blade changes in demanding production environments.
- 1 7/8 in. Cutting Diameter x 7/32 in. Cutting Height - delivers a precise, consistent slot width and depth suited for biscuit grooves, spline channels, and T-slot or H-slot profiles without over-cutting.
- 12mm Bore Diameter - fits the CMT 800.606 arbor family directly, ensuring a secure, centered mount that minimizes runout and keeps cuts true to the intended slot path.
- Right-Hand Rotation - compatible with standard router spindle direction, allowing straightforward installation on handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines without adapter modifications.
- Industrial Quality Construction - built to run easily and smoothly through solid and timber wood while cutting edges remain sharp even after several passes, reducing the frequency of sharpening in high-volume flooring and inlay applications.
Why This Product
- The 7/32 in. cutting height provides a slot dimension that suits standard biscuit and spline joinery profiles, making this cutter a direct, reliable choice for panel joinery and cabinet assembly without extra shimming or arbor adjustment.
- Carbide-tipped (HW) flutes stay sharp through multiple passes in solid hardwood and timber - reducing tool swap frequency and keeping flooring and inlay workflows moving efficiently.
- The 12mm bore is matched to the CMT 800.606 arbor series, so the cutter seats precisely without improvised spacers, maintaining concentricity and producing cleaner slot walls on each pass.
- At 1 7/8 in. diameter with right-hand rotation, this slot cutter is compatible across handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines - giving woodworkers and shop operators flexibility across different setups without purchasing multiple cutters.
