CMT 801.128.11 HW Mortise Router Bit
This carbide-tipped router bit cuts hinge mortises with a 1/2 inch cutter diameter. It is built for woodworkers and joiners who need clean, precise mortise profiles in solid wood or sheet goods. The fractional-inch design fits standard 1/4 inch collets for wide router compatibility. It suits both workshop and on-site fitting tasks.
Thermals noise and power draw in normal use
The bit runs cool because carbide tips reduce friction and heat buildup during extended cuts. Noise levels depend on the router motor and material density rather than the cutter itself. Power draw is determined by the router used, with no additional electrical demand from the bit. Smooth cutting action minimises vibration and motor strain.

Questions about this item
How do I install the CMT 801.128.11 HW Mortise Router Bit in my router, and what step is often missed?
Insert the 1/4 in shank fully into the collet, tighten securely, and verify the 1/2 in cutter diameter clears the base opening; the step often missed is confirming the 1 5/8 in overall length does not bottom out before the collet grips the shank.
What maintenance or replacement will the CMT 801.128.11 HW Mortise Router Bit need over time?
The carbide-tipped cutting edges will dull with use; sharpen or replace the bit when hinge mortise cuts show tear-out or require excessive feed pressure, and inspect the 1/4 in shank for wear or damage each time you change bits.
