Product Description
The CMT 880.521.11 Solid Surface Decorative Edge Profile Bit is a precision-ground router bit engineered for creating elegant, finished edge profiles on solid surface countertops and related materials. With a 2 5/8 in. cutting diameter and a 5/16 in. radius, this bit produces smooth, decorative contours on Corian, Wilsonart, Gibraltar, and comparable solid surface substrates. Designed for use with hand-held portable routers, it delivers professional-quality edge work with a non-marring Delrin bearing that protects finished surfaces during operation. Whether you are profiling a kitchen countertop edge or adding a decorative detail to a bath surface, this solid surface profiling bit gives fabricators and finish carpenters the control and consistency they need.
Key Features
- Non-marring Delrin bearing - protects the finished edge of solid surface material during routing, eliminating scratches or scuff marks on completed work surfaces.
- 2-tooth (2-flute) carbide cutting head - hardwood (HW) carbide construction delivers clean, chip-free cuts in solid surface materials, reducing sanding and finishing time.
- 2 5/8 in. cutting diameter with 5/16 in. radius - produces a gracefully curved decorative edge profile ideal for countertop edges and panel detailing.
- 1 5/8 in. cutting height - provides sufficient depth capacity to profile standard solid surface countertop thicknesses in a single pass.
- 1/2 in. shank - the larger shank diameter reduces vibration and chatter during cuts, improving surface finish quality and extending bit life.
- Right-hand rotation - compatible with the standard rotation direction of portable handheld routers, ensuring safe and predictable cutting performance.
- Designed for hand-held portable routers - optimized for use in the field or in the shop without requiring a dedicated router table setup.
Why This Product
- The non-marring Delrin bearing makes this bit the right choice for solid surface fabricators who cannot risk scratching or damaging a completed countertop edge during the profiling process.
- The 5/16 in. radius produces a refined, decorative curved profile that elevates the appearance of countertop edges beyond a basic eased or flat detail - suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial installations.
- The 1/2 in. shank pairs with full-size portable routers for reduced runout and more consistent edge results across long countertop runs.
- With a 3 17/32 in. total length and 1 5/8 in. cutting height, this bit is sized to handle solid surface edge profiling without excessive overhang, keeping cuts stable and controlled.

Frequently Asked Questions
What solid surface materials is this bit designed for?
This bit is designed for use on solid surface materials such as Corian, Wilsonart, and Gibraltar, as well as comparable solid surface substrates commonly used in countertop fabrication. It is engineered specifically to produce clean, decorative edge profiles on these materials.
What type of router is required to use this bit?
This bit is designed for use on hand-held portable routers with a 1/2 in. collet. The 1/2 in. shank requires a router collet of the same size for proper and secure installation.
Why does this bit include a Delrin bearing instead of a standard steel bearing?
The Delrin bearing is a non-marring material, meaning it will not scratch or scuff the finished surface of a solid surface countertop when the bearing rides along the workpiece edge. This is especially important for solid surface materials, where surface damage to a finished edge would require additional repair or refinishing work.
What edge profile shape does this bit produce?
This bit produces a decorative rounded edge profile with a 5/16 in. radius. The 2 5/8 in. overall cutting diameter creates a graceful curved contour suited for countertop edges, panel edges, and similar decorative profiling applications on solid surface materials.
