CMT 2 Flute Upcut Round Nose Router Bit - 1/8" Diameter, 1/2" Cut, 1/4" Shank

CMT Upcut Round Nose Router Bits are used for ripping, template routing, panel sizing, and any routing application in solid wood, wood composites, laminates, plastics, solid surface, and aluminum. The low-angle spiral is designed specifically to shear wood cleanly and provide efficient chip ejection.

Can be used at a high feed speed on well-clamped workpieces. Ideal for use with machining centers, point-to-point machines, CNC routers, and handheld 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.
