Product Description
CMT Flooring Router Bit 1 1/4" x 1/4" with 1/8" Radius and 1/4" Shank is an industrial-quality, carbide-tipped routing tool designed for flooring and inlay applications in solid wood and timber. Built to run smoothly through hardwood while maintaining a sharp cutting edge pass after pass, this 2-flute right-hand bit produces clean, precise profiles - including rounded edges with a 3.2mm (1/8") radius - making it a reliable choice for decorative inlay work, edge profiling, and flooring detail cuts. Equipped with a stop collar and bearing for guided, repeatable performance, this CMT bit delivers consistent results in both handheld router and router table setups.
Key Features
- Carbide-Tipped (HW) Cutting Edges - hard-metal carbide tips stay sharp through repeated passes in solid and timber wood, reducing the frequency of bit changes and maintaining cut quality over time.
- 1/8" Radius Profile - produces a smooth 3.2mm rounded inlay edge in a single pass, eliminating the need for secondary sanding or shaping on profile edges.
- 2-Flute Design - dual cutting edges deliver a balanced, smooth cut with reduced vibration, resulting in cleaner edge finishes on flooring and inlay work.
- Includes Stop Collar and Bearing - the integrated bearing guide and stop collar provide guided, depth-controlled routing for consistent, repeatable cuts without freehand guesswork.
- 1/4" Cutting Height - sized specifically for flooring profiles and decorative inlay grooves, allowing precise, controlled material removal in a single pass.
- Right-Hand Rotation - compatible with standard router tooling configurations, ensuring safe and predictable bit behavior in both handheld and table-mounted applications.
- 1/4" Shank - fits a wide range of compact and full-size routers equipped with a 1/4" collet, offering broad compatibility across common routing setups.
Why This Product
- Designed specifically for flooring and inlay routing - this bit handles the precision edge profiles and radius inlays that general-purpose bits are not optimized for, making it the right tool for detailed woodwork in solid and timber materials.
- The included stop collar and bearing guide remove the guesswork from depth and edge control, allowing installers and woodworkers to achieve repeatable results across multiple boards or inlay pieces without resetting between cuts.
- Industrial-grade carbide tipping means the cutting edges hold up through extended runs in hardwood, reducing downtime and maintaining the clean profile needed for tight-fitting flooring joints and decorative inlays.
- At 1 7/8" total length with a compact 1 1/4" diameter, this bit is proportioned for the controlled, close-tolerance work typical of flooring detail and inlay applications - not oversized for the job.

Frequently Asked Questions
What router collet size is required for the CMT 822.024.11B?
This flooring router bit has a 1/4" shank and requires a router with a 1/4" collet. It is compatible with a wide range of handheld routers and router tables equipped with a standard 1/4" collet.
What radius profile does this bit cut, and what is it used for?
This bit cuts a 1/8" (3.2mm) radius rounded edge profile. It is designed for flooring and inlay applications where a smooth, consistent rounded edge is needed - such as decorative inlay borders or profiled flooring edges in solid and timber wood.
Does this bit include a bearing and stop collar, and what do they do?
Yes, the CMT 822.024.11B comes equipped with both a bearing and a stop collar. The bearing acts as a guide that rides along the workpiece edge for accurate, controlled edge profiling, while the stop collar sets the cutting depth, allowing for repeatable results across multiple passes or workpieces.
Is this bit suitable for use on solid hardwood?
Yes. The carbide-tipped (HW) cutting edges are specifically designed to run smoothly through solid and timber wood, remaining sharp even after several passes. This makes the bit well suited for demanding flooring and inlay applications in hardwood species.
