Straight-cut profile router bit
The CMT 811.081.11 is a straight-cut profile router bit built with a carbide cutter. It has a 5/16 in cutter diameter and a 1/4 in shank. The overall length is 2 3/4 in with a 1 in cutting length. It is supplied new for use with compatible routers.
Woodworkers needing a 5/16 in straight cut
This bit suits woodworkers cutting grooves, dados or mortises at a 5/16 in width. It is not for users who need a different cutting diameter or a profile shape such as round-over or chamfer. Builders requiring a 1/2 in shank for heavy-duty machines should look elsewhere.
5/16 in cutter diameter decides fit
The single specification that determines whether this is the correct part is the 5/16 in cutter diameter. Match this measurement exactly to the groove width required by your project or joint design. A different diameter will produce a cut that does not fit.

Questions about this item
What does the 5/16 inch cutter diameter mean for the width of the groove it cuts?
The 5/16 inch cutter diameter produces a groove exactly that wide in a single pass, giving a precise fractional-inch slot for joinery or decorative details.
How does the 1/4 inch shank fit into a router collet?
The 1/4 inch shank is the standard size for most handheld routers and fits directly into a matching collet without an adapter.
What overall length does the bit need for clearance in a router table setup?
The bit measures 2 3/4 inches overall, so the router table opening and lift must accommodate that length below the collet.
