The CMT 836.501.11 Chamfer Set is a professional 5-piece router bit collection designed to cut clean, flat angled bevels on wood edges with precision and consistency. Built around a 1/2 in. shank for maximum stability in both handheld routers and router tables, this carbide-tipped set gives woodworkers and cabinetmakers the versatility to produce decorative chamfers, eased edges, and beveled profiles across a wide range of angles - all from a single organized set. Whether you are working with solid hardwood, MDF, plywood, or laminate materials, CMT's engineering delivers sharp, smooth results pass after pass.

Key Features

• 5-Piece Chamfer Set at multiple angles - gives you a full range of bevel angles in one purchase, eliminating the need to buy individual bits separately and reducing setup time between tasks.
• 1/2 in. shank diameter - the larger shank reduces vibration and deflection during cutting, resulting in cleaner, more accurate chamfered edges compared to 1/4 in. shank alternatives.
• 2-flute (2-tooth) carbide-tipped cutting edges (HW material) - hard metal carbide tips stay sharper longer than high-speed steel, delivering extended cutting life and consistent edge quality across hardwood, softwood, sheet goods, and composites.
• Right-hand (RH) rotation - matches the standard rotation direction of virtually all routers, ensuring safe, predictable performance without any special setup or adapter.
• CMT Orange Shield non-stick coating - reduces pitch and resin buildup on the bit body, lowers operating heat, and protects against corrosion, which means less cleaning time and a longer usable life for each bit.
• SinterHIP industrial chrome carbide - carbide processed via Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) resists material failure at the microscopic level, extending cutting life and maintaining sharpness even under demanding workloads.
• Tri-Metal brazing (Silver-Copper-Silver) - this three-layer brazing method secures the carbide tip more reliably than single-layer alternatives, reducing the chance of tip separation when routing harder woods or composite panels.
• Anti-kickback design - controls the depth of cut on each pass and minimizes the risk of sudden kickback, improving both operator safety and cut accuracy on the router table or freehand.

Why This Product

• A single 5-piece set covers multiple chamfer angles, making it a practical and cost-efficient solution for furniture makers, cabinetmakers, and finish carpenters who regularly need to produce varied bevel profiles.
• The 1/2 in. shank is the preferred choice for router table use and heavy-duty routing because it provides the rigidity needed to prevent chatter - especially critical when beveling the edges of dense hardwoods or composite sheet goods.
• Carbide-tipped 2-flute geometry paired with CMT's SinterHIP processing means the bits hold an edge significantly longer than standard carbide, reducing resharpening frequency during high-volume production work.
• The anti-kickback design and right-hand rotation make this set compatible with standard routers right out of the box, with built-in safety geometry that is especially valuable for users running repeat cuts on a router table.
