Whether you're a professional woodworker or a hobbyist, the CMT Pattern Bit is a valuable tool providing unlimited template routing possibilities. Pair up these double-fluted bits with a template of your choice and produce distinctive cabinets, furniture pieces, signs, toys, and personalize any other creative project.

Carbide-tipped for long lasting performance, CMT Pattern Bits are also equipped with a top bearing that provides you with a clear view throughout the routing process so you can work confidently and accurately.

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.
