Straight-cut router bit for 1/2 in collets
The CMT 812.629.11 is a carbide-tipped straight-cut profile router bit with a 1/2 in cutter diameter and a 1/2 in shank. It is designed for general-purpose profiling and grooving in wood and composite materials on a router table or handheld router.
Check shank size and collet compatibility
Verify that your router accepts a 1/2 in shank before ordering. Ensure the collet is clean and in good condition to prevent runout. Confirm the machine can accommodate the bit's overall length and cutting depth for your intended application.
Suits woodworkers needing a standard straight bit
This bit suits woodworkers and cabinetmakers who need a reliable straight-cutting tool for joinery and edge work. It is not for users requiring a bearing-guided pattern bit, a spiral up-cut or down-cut geometry, or a smaller shank diameter for compact routers.
