This bit is used for cutting shallow mortises for hinges and locksets. Its cutting geometry is calculated to produce an exceptionally clean cut with crisp edges. A proper mortising bit, as pictured, should have a large gullet between the two flutes.
Carbide tipped cutting edges feature outstanding cutting tool longevity and performance. Pro-Tech router bits cut through a variety of materials from wood, plywood, MDF and other wood composites, plastics, and solid surfaces.
Use a two-flute bit where fine finish is paramount. Two flutes balance the bit, eliminating vibration that degrades the cut finish.
Two cuts per revolution yield a smooth surface, but feed rate is slightly reduced.
This router bit has a 6.35mm shank (shaft) that will fit most small routers. Please ensure that you select a router bit with a shank (shaft) size that will fit into your router collet.
