CMT 880.513.11 Solid Surface Inlay Router Bit by CMT is purpose-built for adding decorative inlays of wood, plastic, or metal to solid surface countertops and similar materials. With a 7/8 in. cutting diameter, 3/4 in. cutting height, and a 1/2 in. shank, this 2-flute tungsten carbide router bit delivers clean, precise routing paths for inlay work on Corian, Wilsonart, Gibraltar, and comparable solid surface substrates. Designed for use with hand-held portable routers, it pairs a hardwood-grade carbide cutting edge with a non-marring Delrin bearing that protects finished countertop surfaces throughout the cut.

Key Features

• Solid surface inlay design - engineered specifically to cut precise channels for decorative wood, plastic, or metal inlays in solid surface countertops, so your inlay fits cleanly the first time.
• Non-marring Delrin bearing - protects finished countertop edges from scratches or scuffing as the bit rides against the workpiece, preserving the surface quality you are routing into.
• 7/8 in. cutting diameter with 3/4 in. cutting height - provides a generous depth capacity for routing solid inlay recesses in a single controlled pass.
• 3/16 in. (4.76 mm) depth - precise inlay depth ensures consistent, flush-fitting decorative inserts without over-cutting the substrate.
• 1/2 in. shank - the larger shank diameter reduces vibration and deflection during the cut, resulting in smoother routing paths and greater accuracy in the finished channel.
• 2-flute HW carbide construction - hard wear-grade carbide teeth stay sharp through extended routing sessions on solid surface materials, reducing the need for frequent bit changes.
• Right-hand rotation - compatible with standard router spindle direction, making this bit a straightforward drop-in for any conventional hand-held portable router setup.
• 3 35/64 in. total length - compact enough for use in hand-held router applications while providing adequate reach for inlay routing tasks.

Why This Product

• The non-marring Delrin bearing is a key differentiator for countertop professionals - it lets you guide the bit along an already-finished solid surface edge without leaving bearing marks or damaging the work you have completed.
• At a 7/8 in. cutting diameter and 3/4 in. cutting height, this bit is sized specifically for the inlay routing tasks that come up most often in solid surface countertop fabrication, giving fabricators a dedicated tool rather than a general-purpose workaround.
• The 1/2 in. shank provides a more secure, lower-vibration connection in the router collet compared to smaller shank sizes, which translates directly to cleaner channel walls and more accurate inlay fit.
• With HW carbide teeth and right-hand rotation, this bit is ready to work with standard portable routers used in countertop shops and on job sites, requiring no special setup or adapter.
