The CMT 835.502.11 Rabbeting Set is a professional-grade router bit set designed for cutting precise rabbets and rebates along board edges - making it an essential tool for cabinet making, door frame construction, panel joinery, and furniture assembly. Built around a 1-3/8 in. diameter, 2-flute carbide-tipped bit with a 1/2 in. shank, this set delivers repeatable, clean rabbet cuts across a full depth range of 0 to 1/2 in. by simply swapping the included interchangeable ball bearing guides. Whether you are working at a router table, with a handheld router, or on a CNC routing machine, this CMT rabbeting set provides the versatility and precision that woodworking professionals demand.

Key Features

• 6 Interchangeable Ball Bearing Guides - swap bearings to instantly change rabbet depth from 0 to 1/2 in. without readjusting the router, saving setup time and ensuring repeatable accuracy across multiple workpieces.
• Complete Set Contents (bit, 6 bearings, fastening screws, shields, and Allen Key) - everything needed to begin cutting rabbets at multiple depths arrives ready to use, with no additional hardware required.
• 1-3/8 in. Diameter with 3/4 in. Cutting Height - the generous cutting height accommodates thick stock and produces a clean shoulder across a wide range of solid wood, plywood, MDF, and sheet goods in a single pass.
• 2-Flute (2-Tooth) Hardwood Carbide (HW) Construction - industrial-grade carbide edges resist wear against dense hardwoods and abrasive sheet materials, extending service life between sharpenings.
• Right-Hand Rotation - compatible with the standard spindle direction of virtually all handheld routers, router tables, and CNC routing machines, ensuring safe and consistent operation.
• 1/2 in. Shank Diameter - the full 1/2 in. shank provides maximum grip and reduces vibration compared to smaller shank sizes, resulting in smoother cuts and improved surface finish quality.
• 2-19/32 in. Total Length - the overall length keeps the bit well-seated in the collet while still providing clearance for bearing-guided edge work on typical stock thicknesses.

Why This Product

• One set covers six different rabbet depths from 0 to 1/2 in. - instead of purchasing multiple individual rabbeting bits, a single CMT 835.502.11 set handles the full range of common rabbet depths by changing only the bearing guide, making it a cost-effective solution for shops cutting varied joinery.
• The 1/2 in. shank and hardwood-grade carbide construction make this bit equally at home on precision router tables and handheld routers, giving woodworkers the flexibility to work in the way that best suits each project.
• Designed for use with solid hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, chipboard, laminates, melamine, and plastic - a single rabbeting set that handles the breadth of materials found in cabinet shops, millwork operations, and furniture studios.
• The included Allen Key, fastening screws, and shields mean depth changes are quick and tool-ready straight out of the box, reducing downtime between cuts and keeping production moving on repetitive joinery tasks.
