CMT Rabbeting Set with Interchangeable Bearings by CMT is a professional-grade router bit set designed for cutting precise rabbets and rebates along board edges - making it a go-to solution for cabinet joinery, door frame construction, panel fitting, and frame-and-panel work. The 1-3/8 in. diameter bit is paired with 6 interchangeable ball bearing guides that allow the operator to dial in a range of rabbet depths from 0 to 1/2 in. without swapping bits, keeping workflow fast and consistent across solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, chipboard, laminates, melamine, and plastic.

Key Features

• 6 interchangeable ball bearing guides included - covering the full 0 to 1/2 in. depth range with a single bit body, eliminating the need to purchase multiple separate rabbeting bits for different joint depths.
• 1-3/8 in. cutting diameter with a 1/2 in. cutting height - delivers wide, clean rabbet shoulders suitable for cabinet back panels, door stops, and edge-joining operations in a single pass.
• 2-flute (2-tooth) HW carbide construction - hardmetal carbide tips produce clean, chip-free cuts in a broad range of wood-based and composite materials, reducing tearout at the rabbet shoulder.
• 1/4 in. shank - compatible with compact and full-size routers fitted with a 1/4 in. collet, including handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines.
• Right-hand (RH) rotation - standard router rotation means no special setup is required; simply chuck the bit and route in the normal feed direction.
• Fastening screws, shields, and Allen key included - everything needed to change bearings and get cutting is in the box, with no additional hardware to source separately.
• Depth change by bearing substitution - swapping bearings takes seconds, making it practical to cut multiple rabbet depths in the same session without resetting the router depth stop.

Why This Product

• One set, six depths - rather than stocking individual rabbeting bits for every joint size, this set covers the entire 0 to 1/2 in. depth range through simple bearing changes, reducing tooling cost and storage space.
• Broad material compatibility - the HW carbide cutting edges perform reliably in solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, chipboard, laminates, melamine, and plastic, making this set versatile enough for cabinetmaking, furniture building, and millwork shops.
• Complete and ready to use - the set ships with the rabbeting bit, all 6 bearing guides, fastening screws, shields, and an Allen key, so there is no waiting on additional accessories before getting to work.
• 1/4 in. shank broadens machine compatibility - the 1/4 in. shank fits the widest range of handheld routers and router tables, including compact trim routers commonly used for edge rabbeting in tight spaces or on finished panels.
