Straight Router Bit for Clean Grooves
This carbide tipped straight router bit produces clean grooves and dados in hardwood, softwood and composite panels. The 3/4 inch cutter diameter matches common joinery dimensions for cabinet and furniture work. A 1/2 inch shank fits standard full size routers for secure clamping.
Suited for Edge Joints and Dado Cuts
Woodworkers cutting straight profiles, edge joints or shallow mortises will find the cutter length practical for typical stock thicknesses. The fractional inch sizing aligns with imperial project plans. Shops needing spiral upcut bits for chip evacuation in deep slots or smaller shank diameters for compact routers should consider other options.
