Straight Router Bit for Precise Cuts
The CMT 812.690.11 is a carbide-tipped straight router bit designed for clean profiling and grooving in wood and composite materials. It suits woodworkers and cabinetmakers who need accurate fractional-inch dimensions for joinery or template work. Weighing 0.29 kg, it fits standard 1/2 in collets for stable, vibration-resistant routing.
Carbide Tips Extend Cutting Life
The carbide-tipped cutters maintain sharp edges longer than standard steel, reducing the frequency of bit changes during extended routing sessions. A 3/4 in cutter diameter paired with a 1 1/2 in cutting length allows deep, straight passes in a single operation. The overall length of 3 1/4 in provides adequate reach for most table-mounted or handheld router applications.

Questions about this item
How often will the carbide tips on the CMT 812.690.11 need resharpening?
Resharpen when cut quality drops or feed resistance increases; frequency depends on material hardness and total cutting time rather than a fixed interval.
What is the first limitation during prolonged routing with this bit?
Heat buildup in the carbide tips and shank becomes the limiting factor, so allow cooling periods during extended heavy cuts.
