Product Description
CMT Solid Carbide Combination Trimmer Bit - 1/4" x 3/8", 0 deg.-10 deg. Angle, 1/4" Shank by CMT is engineered for woodworkers and finish carpenters who demand precision trimming and beveling of laminates, HPL, and edge banding without stopping to swap tooling. This single-tooth, solid carbide trimmer bit covers the full range from flush straight trimming at 0 deg. through a 10 deg. bevel cut, giving you versatile edge-finishing capability in one compact bit. Whether you are running a hand router with a 1/4" collet or working at a router table with an edge guide or fence, this combination trimmer delivers clean, consistent results on both soft and hardwood surfaces.
Key Features
- Combined 0 deg.-10 deg. cutting angle - covers both straight flush trimming and angled bevel cuts in a single bit, eliminating the need to change tooling mid-project and saving setup time.
- Solid carbide construction (HWM material grade) - provides maximum hardness and wear resistance when cutting abrasive laminate and HPL materials, extending tool life compared to carbide-tipped steel-body bits.
- 1/4" cutting diameter with 3/8" cutting height - sized for precise edge work on laminates and edge banding where control and a clean finish matter most.
- 1/4" shank diameter - fits standard 1/4" collets on hand routers and router tables, making this bit broadly compatible with common workshop setups.
- Right-hand rotation - matches the standard direction of virtually all hand routers and router tables, ensuring safe and correct operation right out of the box.
- Compact 1 1/2" overall length - keeps the bit close to the collet for improved stability and reduced vibration during trimming passes.
- Single-tooth (1-flute) geometry - optimized for laminate trimming applications where a controlled, low-heat cut helps protect the finished surface edge.
Why This Product
- Laminate fabricators and countertop installers who work with both flush and beveled edges can handle both cut styles with one bit - no mid-job tool changes, no second setup required.
- The solid carbide body holds an edge significantly longer on abrasive laminate and HPL materials than softer tooling alternatives, meaning fewer replacements and more consistent cut quality over time.
- The 0 deg.-10 deg. combined angle range matches the three most common laminate trimming profiles, making this bit a practical all-in-one solution for everyday edge finishing work.
- At 1/4" shank, this bit integrates with the widest variety of router setups already in most shops, requiring no additional collet reducers or adapters for standard hand routers and router tables.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this bit require an edge guide or fence to operate?
Yes. Per CMT specifications, this combination trimmer bit is intended to be used with an edge, separate guide, or fence. It does not include a bearing and relies on an external reference surface to control the cut depth and angle.
Can this bit make both straight flush cuts and angled bevel cuts without changing tooling?
Yes. The 0 deg.-10 deg. combined angle range means you can achieve a straight flush trim at 0 deg. or a bevel cut up to 10 deg. using the same bit, simply by adjusting your setup. This is the core design advantage of a combination trimmer bit.
What materials is this bit designed to cut?
This bit is designed for cutting and trimming laminates, HPL (high-pressure laminate), and edge banding. It can also achieve straight or angled cuts on soft and hardwood surfaces. The solid carbide construction handles the abrasive nature of laminate materials effectively.
What router collet size does this bit require?
This bit has a 1/4" shank diameter and requires a router equipped with a 1/4" collet. It is compatible with hand routers fitted with a 1/4" collet as well as router table setups using the same collet size.
