SKU CH-89SP-W60BY

  • 1/2 in shank fits standard collets
  • 4 3/8 in overall length gives stable control

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.

Questions about this item

Does the CMT 812.629.11 router bit come with any accessories or do I need to buy a collet separately?

How do I choose between the 1/2 in cutter diameter and other sizes for this straight-cut bit?

This model has a fixed 1/2 in cutter diameter. Select it when your joint or groove width matches that dimension.

What does the 1/2 in cutter diameter mean for material removal in a real routing job?

A 1/2 in cutter removes a 1/2 in wide path per pass, suitable for dados, grooves and edge trimming in solid wood or panel stock.
