CMT 835.317.11 rabbeting router bit
The CMT 835.317.11 is a carbide-tipped rabbeting router bit built for woodworkers who need clean, precise rabbet joints in cabinetry and joinery work. Its fractional-inch design suits both professional workshops and serious hobbyists working with standard router collets. The cutter produces a consistent profile for reliable, repeatable results.
1-1/4 in cutter diameter and cutting depth
The 1-1/4 in cutter diameter provides ample capacity for standard rabbet widths, while the carbide tips maintain sharpness through extended use in hardwoods and softwoods alike. The bit handles typical rabbeting tasks comfortably but is not suited for extra-wide or deep rabbets that exceed its fixed profile dimensions. Users needing larger cuts will require a different bit or multiple passes.
1/2 in shank fits common router collets
The 1/2 in shank fits directly into standard router collets without adapters, freeing up the tool changer for other bits and simplifying setup. The overall length of 2 5/16 in keeps the bit compact for better control in handheld or table-mounted routers. Builders using 1/4 in collets cannot use this bit without a compatible router or collet upgrade.
