CMT 2 Flute Straight Router - 10mm Diameter, 1-1/4" Cut, 1/4" Shank

CMT's Straight Router Bits offer an array of features that define their top-quality cutting tools: razor-sharp edges, special high-strength steel, and the finest micrograin carbide. Built to withstand even the heaviest working conditions, CMT bits allow production on an industrial scale using a variety of plywood, composites, and natural woods.

The razor-sharp, double-faced cutters on these straight bits are made of special Fatigue Proof steel and micrograin carbide that can withstand even the heaviest work load, yet still give you a smooth, precise cut. Users can expect exceptional chip ejection to allow cleaner and more consistent cutting.

These bits also feature CMT's trademark orange PTFE Industrial Coating. This unique industrial strength surface coating is designed to withstand the physical stresses the bit undergoes during use, guarding against resin, pitch, and other residue build-up.

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.
