V-Groove Profile Router Bit 3/8 in
The CMT 815.095.11 is a carbide-tipped V-groove profile router bit designed for woodworkers and joiners cutting decorative grooves or chamfers in solid wood and panel materials. Its fractional-inch shank fits standard collets on handheld or table-mounted routers. The cutter produces a clean V-shaped channel for signage, edge detailing or joinery layout.
Upgrading from standard straight bits
A straight bit leaves a flat-bottomed groove, while this profile creates an angled V-shape in a single pass, reducing the need for secondary shaping or hand-carving. The jump is worth it when a project requires consistent decorative veining, lettering grooves or precise chamfer angles across multiple workpieces. Carbide tips maintain edge life longer than high-speed steel alternatives.
Check router collet size and shank fit
Verify that your router accepts a 1/4 in shank before ordering, as the bit will not seat in 1/2 in or metric collets without an adapter. Ensure the machine can run at speeds appropriate for a 3/8 in diameter carbide cutter to avoid vibration or burning. Confirm the cutting depth capacity matches the intended groove depth for your material thickness.

Questions about this item
Will the 1/4 in shank fit my router collet?
The bit has a 1/4 in shank, so it fits any standard 1/4 in collet. Tighten the collet fully before routing to avoid slippage.
How do I set the cutting depth for the V-groove?
Adjust the router so the 3/8 in cutter diameter engages the workpiece at the desired groove depth; test on scrap first.
When should I replace this carbide-tipped bit?
Replace it when the carbide edges dull, chip, or burn the wood instead of cutting cleanly.
