Straight Cut Router Bit 1/2 Inch
The CMT 811.628.11 is a straight cut profile router bit designed for precise grooving and trimming tasks. Its carbide-tipped construction provides durability for woodworkers and cabinetmakers requiring clean edges. The 1/2 inch shank ensures compatibility with standard collets for secure fastening during operation.
Carbide Tipped Cutting Performance
The carbide tips maintain sharpness longer than standard steel when cutting hardwoods or abrasive composites. This allows sustained material removal without frequent bit changes interrupting workflow. The straight profile produces consistent flat-bottom grooves and dados across extended production runs.
Heat Resistance And Cutting Stability
Carbide composition resists heat buildup during deep passes, reducing the risk of burning the workpiece. The solid body design minimises vibration for smoother finishes at typical router speeds. Efficient chip ejection prevents clogging that can increase friction and power draw on the motor.

Questions about this item
How hot does the 811.628.11 bit get during continuous routing?
The carbide-tipped cutter is designed to dissipate heat efficiently during extended straight-cut profiling in wood or composite materials.
What collet size must my router have for the 811.628.11 shank?
Your router needs a 1/2 in collet to match the 1/2 in shank diameter of this bit.
Will the 811.628.11 fit the same collet as my older 1/4 in shank bits?
No, the 1/2 in shank requires a 1/2 in collet; older 1/4 in shank bits use a different collet size.
