CMT Flush Trim Bit - 1/2" Diameter x 1" Cutting Height, 1/4" Shank, 10-Pack is a professional-grade routing bit engineered for precision flush trimming, laminate work, and template routing. Designed by CMT and manufactured with HW (carbide) cutting material, this right-hand rotation bit delivers clean, consistent results on laminates, veneers, solid hardwood, and composite panels. The masterpack of 10 bits ensures you have a ready supply for high-volume production environments, CNC routing operations, or busy woodworking shops where downtime is not an option.

Key Features

• 1/2" Cutting Diameter - provides a wide, stable cutting path that tracks smoothly along templates and edges, reducing the risk of deflection during laminate or veneer trimming.
• 1" Cutting Height - accommodates a full inch of material depth, making this bit equally capable of through mortise work and standard flush trimming tasks in a single pass.
• HW Carbide Cutting Material - hard carbide construction maintains a sharp edge through repeated cuts in solid hardwood, MDF, melamine, plywood, and plastic, extending usable bit life compared to standard steel tooling.
• -3 deg. Cutting Angle - the slightly negative shear angle controls chip formation and reduces tear-out, resulting in excellent finishing quality on laminates and veneers.
• 2-Flute Design - dual cutting edges balance cutting forces and improve surface finish quality while maintaining efficient material removal during template routing and pattern copying.
• 1/4" Shank - fits a wide range of handheld routers and router tables equipped with standard 1/4" collets, giving this bit broad compatibility across common workshop tools.
• Right-Hand Rotation - standard RH rotation is compatible with virtually all handheld and table-mounted routers, requiring no special setup or tooling adjustments.
• 10-Piece Masterpack - buying in a masterpack of 10 reduces per-unit cost and keeps production lines running without interruption when bits need to be rotated or replaced.
• 2 51/64" Total Length - the overall bit length provides adequate clearance above the workpiece for comfortable setup and bit changes on both handheld routers and router tables.

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for precision laminate trimming and template routing - the -3 deg. cutting angle and 2-flute carbide construction work together to deliver excellent surface finishes on laminates and veneers without requiring secondary cleanup passes.
• Versatile enough for through mortise work - the 1" cutting height gives woodworkers and cabinet makers a single bit that handles both flush trimming applications and deeper through mortise cuts, reducing the need for multiple specialized tools.
• Masterpack quantity lowers cost per cut - the 10-piece format makes this bit set well-suited for production shops and CNC routing operations where flush trim bits see heavy use and need to be replaced regularly to maintain cut quality.
• Broad machine compatibility - the 1/4" shank fits the majority of handheld routers and router tables in common use, meaning this bit can move between machines in the shop without requiring adapter collets or special equipment.
