CMT 818.130.11 Dovetail Router Bit
The CMT 818.130.11 is a carbide-tipped router bit designed to cut dovetail profiles. It features a 1/2 inch cutter diameter and a 1/4 inch shank. This accessory is built for use with compatible routers in woodworking applications.
Woodworkers cutting dovetail joints
This bit suits woodworkers producing dovetail joinery with a 1/2 inch profile. It is not for operators requiring a different cutting profile or a shank diameter other than 1/4 inch. Buyers needing a larger cutting diameter or a 1/2 inch shank should look at something else.
1/2 inch cutter diameter
The 1/2 inch cutter diameter determines the size of the dovetail profile produced. This single specification confirms whether the bit matches the joint dimensions required for the project. Verify the profile size before purchasing.

Questions about this item
Which router collet size fits the 1/2 in shank of the CMT 818.130.11 bit?
The bit has a 1/2 in shank, so your router must accept a 1/2 in collet or include a 1/2 in collet adapter to hold it securely.
Can I run the CMT 818.130.11 in a router that only takes 1/4 in shanks?
No, the bit’s 1/2 in shank will not fit a 1/4 in collet; you would need a router with a 1/2 in collet or a compatible adapter.
How do I confirm the CMT 818.130.11 is cutting a proper dovetail profile after installation?
Make a test cut in scrap wood and check that the joint shows the correct angled dovetail shape with clean, carbide-tipped edges.
