CMT Flooring Router Bit - 1 1/4" Diameter x 1/4" Cutting Height, 1/4" Shank is a carbide-tipped router bit engineered for flooring and inlay applications, running smoothly through solid hardwood and timber while maintaining a clean, sharp cutting edge pass after pass. Equipped with a stop collar and a bearing, this 2-flute bit delivers the precision and control that flooring professionals and woodworkers need when cutting edges on hardwood planks or preparing grooves for inlay work. The right-hand rotation and compact 1/4" shank make it compatible with a wide range of handheld routers and router tables.

Key Features

• Carbide-Tipped (HW) Cutting Edge - industrial-grade hard metal carbide stays sharp through repeated passes on solid hardwood and timber, reducing the need for frequent bit changes during flooring and inlay work.
• 2-Flute Design - two cutting edges work together to produce smooth, clean cuts in wood flooring material, minimizing tearout and surface cleanup time.
• Included Stop Collar and Bearing - the integrated bearing guides the bit along the workpiece edge for consistent, controlled depth while the stop collar locks cutting height precisely, so every pass produces a uniform profile.
• Right-Hand Rotation - standard RH rotation is compatible with virtually all handheld routers and router table setups, making this bit a straightforward drop-in addition to any woodworking shop.
• 1 1/4" Cutting Diameter with 1/4" Cutting Height - the geometry is purpose-built for flooring edge profiles and inlay channels, cutting efficiently without removing excess material.
• 1/4" Shank - fits the most widely available router collets, including compact trim routers, providing versatility across tool brands and router sizes.
• 9.53mm Cutting Depth - carefully sized cutting depth delivers repeatable results when routing flooring edges or preparing inlay recesses, so joinery fits together accurately every time.

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for flooring and inlay routing - this bit is designed specifically for cutting edges on solid wood flooring and timber, not adapted from a general-purpose profile, so it handles the demands of flooring work without compromise.
• The stop collar and bearing work together to remove guesswork from depth and edge control, making it easier to achieve consistent results on long flooring runs where precision matters most.
• Industrial carbide-tipped construction means the bit holds its edge through multiple passes on hardwood surfaces, helping woodworkers and flooring installers maintain productivity without stopping to change tooling.
• The 1/4" shank format keeps this bit accessible to users with compact trim routers as well as full-size machines, making it a practical choice for both job-site and shop environments.
