CMT 836.920.11 Chamfer Bit with Bearing is a precision-engineered 45 deg. bevel routing bit from CMT, designed to cut clean, accurate chamfers and beveled edges on wood and a wide range of other materials. With a 1 49/64 in. cutting diameter, a 23/32 in. cutting height, and a 1/2 in. shank, this bit is built for both handheld routers and router table setups where consistent, repeatable 45 deg. bevel cuts are essential. Whether you are easing sharp edges on furniture components, creating decorative chamfered profiles, or assembling perfectly aligned multi-sided boxes and containers, this chamfer bit delivers the control and accuracy professional woodworkers demand. The integrated ball-bearing guide rides smoothly along the workpiece edge, maintaining a consistent angle and depth of cut throughout the pass.

Key Features

• 45 deg. chamfer angle - produces a precise, flat bevel every time, ideal for decorative edge work, furniture detailing, and assembling multi-sided containers or boxes where tight miter geometry is critical.
• Ball-bearing guide - follows the workpiece edge automatically, eliminating the need for a fence on freehand cuts and ensuring consistent bevel depth across the full length of the cut.
• 1 49/64 in. cutting diameter with 23/32 in. cutting height - provides a full, generous bevel profile suitable for both fine furniture work and larger-scale projects such as decorative beams and columns.
• 1/2 in. shank - offers greater stability and reduced vibration compared to smaller shanks, resulting in smoother cuts and a finer finished surface.
• 2-flute (2-tooth) carbide (HW) construction - hard tungsten carbide cutting edges stay sharp longer and handle demanding cuts through hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and composites with less heat buildup.
• Right-hand (RH) rotation - matches the standard rotation direction of virtually all routers, making this bit a straightforward, compatible choice for everyday shop use.
• 2 5/8 in. total length - compact enough to seat securely in the collet while providing full bevel reach on typical workpiece thicknesses.

Why This Product

• The precision 45 deg. bevel angle combined with the bearing guide makes this bit the right choice when you need repeatable chamfers on production runs of cabinet doors, drawer fronts, or decorative panels - no fence adjustments required between passes.
• The 23/32 in. cutting height gives you a full, clean chamfer profile that works equally well on delicate furniture components and on heavier architectural elements like beams and columns, covering a wide range of project scales with a single bit.
• Hard tungsten carbide (HW) cutting edges retain their sharpness through extended use in hardwoods and dense composites, reducing downtime spent resharpening or replacing tooling.
• The 1/2 in. shank diameter maximizes grip in the collet and minimizes chatter, which translates directly to a smoother bevel surface that requires less sanding before finishing.
