CMT 2 Flute Down Cut Router Bit w/DLCS Chrome Coating - 1/4" Diameter, 3/4" Cut, 1/4" Shank

This solid carbide router bit with DLCS Chrome Coating is used for efficient contour cutting, end trimming, and panel sizing on solid wood, wood composites, plastic materials, and laminates at high feed speeds.

DLCS is a modified, diamond-like carbon coating with enhanced load bearing capacity. A hard, durable metal-based layer (chromium nitride) provides a higher hardness surface and increases the resilience of the superposed carbon coating. Coating prevents high heat, which is detrimental to cutting tool performance. Provides 3X longer life than uncoated tools!

This bit can be used on machining centers, point-to-point boring machines, CNC routers, and hand-held routers equipped with chucks or adaptors.

Why CMT Router Bits?

• Multi-Axis Grinding: Each cutting edge is ground to micron-level accuracy, producing a razor-sharp edge and a true mirror finish. The result is cleaner cuts, less tear-out, and significantly longer edge life, even in dense hardwoods.
• Anti-Kickback Design: Engineered cutting geometry controls chip load and limits how aggressively the bit engages the material. This improves operator control and reduces the risk of kickback.
• Hi-Density Industrial Chrome Carbide: Hot Isostatic Pressing eliminates microscopic voids in the carbide, creating a denser, more uniform cutting edge that resists chipping and holds sharpness longer.
• Tri-Metal Brazing: A Silver–Copper–Silver brazing system creates a stronger bond between carbide and steel while absorbing cutting vibration. This protects the cutting edge and improves performance in hardwoods and composite materials.
• Non-Stick Orange Shield Coating: Reduces heat and pitch buildup, resists corrosion, and keeps the bit cutting freely for longer service life.
• Superior High-Strength Steel: Manufactured from premium Swiss-sourced steel bar stock for superior balance, fatigue resistance, and vibration control at high RPMs.
