Product: 1 x 12 mm router bit with 1/2 inch shank — flush trim solid carbide spiral bearing CNC router bit, cutting diameter 32 mm Why you need this bit Produces clean, accurate edges: the spiral cutting geometry and compression cut profile minimize tear-out on both top and bottom faces for smoother finishes. Durable and precise: solid carbide construction holds a sharp edge longer than HSS alternatives, so you get consistent cuts over repeated jobs. Easy setup and guided trimming: the bearing-guided flush trim design follows templates and workpiece edges for straight, repeatable results. Key features and compatible uses Shank: 1/2 inch — fits routers and CNC spindles that accept a 1/2" shank. Item: 1 x 12 mm router bit (included). Cutting diameter: 32 mm — suitable for wider trimming and face cutting operations. Type: flush trim, spiral bearing CNC router bit made from solid carbide. Function: designed for compression cutting; can also be used as an end mill bit for face wood cutting where a flat, smooth surface is needed. Performance benefits Compression cut reduces splintering at both surfaces when trimming laminated or veneered materials. Spiral flute geometry evacuates chips efficiently, reducing heat and improving surface finish. Bearing guide ensures accurate template-following without repeated measurement or clamping adjustments. Practical applications (real-world scenarios) Laminate countertop trim: follow a template and flush-trim excess laminate with minimal tear-out on both the top and bottom surfaces. Template routing and furniture parts: produce identical edges on plywood, veneered panels, or MDF when making cabinet doors, drawer fronts, or pattern-matched components. CNC face cutting and signmaking: use as an end mill-style bit for clean face cuts and surface work on wood panels and signage materials. What to expect in use Reliable, repeatable trimming and surfacing when used with routers or CNC machines compatible with a 1/2" shank. Cleaner finishes that reduce the need for sanding and rework, saving time on finishing steps. A robust cutter suitable for production runs and precision woodworking tasks. Specifications (concise) Included: 1 x 12 mm router bit Shank: 1/2 inch Material: solid carbide Type: spiral, bearing-guided, flush trim Cutting diameter: 32 mm Primary functions: compression cut, suitable as end mill for face wood cutting Use recommendations Secure workpiece and template firmly; use appropriate router speeds for carbide bits and the material being cut. Replace or re-sharpen when finish quality decreases to maintain precision results. This bit delivers clean, repeatable trimming and face-cutting performance for woodworking, cabinetry, and CNC projects where edge quality and production reliability matter.
