CMT Laser Point Bit - 1/2 in. Dia., 1/4 in. Shank

CMT Laser Point Bit – 1/2 in. Dia. – 1/4 in. Shank

Create precise decorative grooves, fine incisions, and highlighted lettering with the CMT Laser Point Bit.

The CMT Laser Point Bit is designed for detailed woodworking projects where accuracy and clean results are essential. Featuring a 3-flute cutting design, this bit produces delicate grooves and precise incisions with exceptional control. The 60° bevel edges allow you to create subtle decorative effects, while using the full 1/2 in. diameter produces bold, eye-catching lettering and enhanced details.

Perfectly balanced for smooth operation, the Laser Point Bit helps minimize vibration and reduces the risk of burning during cutting. Raise the bit for fine, shallow engraving or use the complete cutting profile for deeper, more pronounced designs. The innovative 35° beveled cutting tip creates unique effects in a single pass, making it a versatile choice for signs, lettering, trim details, and decorative woodworking applications.

Built for dependable performance, this router bit features a rugged steel shank and micrograin carbide cutting edges that deliver long-lasting sharpness and durability. Whether creating intricate accents or bold graphic details, the CMT Laser Point Bit provides the precision needed for professional-quality results.

How CMT Produces High-Quality Router Bits

• Turning, Milling, and Cutting: CMT uses advanced automated CNC machinery operated by specially trained technicians to ensure router bit bodies and shanks are manufactured with exceptional accuracy and balance.
• Heat-Forged Steel Bodies: Larger diameter bits may require heat-forged steel bodies to create a stronger radial grain structure, improving strength and durability during demanding applications.
• Precision Brazing: CMT’s computerized brazing process creates a secure bond between the steel body and carbide cutting edges. The silver-copper-silver brazing system provides strength while helping absorb shock to protect carbide tips.
• Application-Specific Carbide: CMT develops carbide formulations tailored to different woodworking needs, balancing hardness, durability, and impact resistance for various materials and cutting applications.
• Grinding and Sharpening: Multi-axis CNC grinding machines sharpen each cutting edge and bevel with micron-level precision, producing razor-sharp edges designed for accuracy and long service life.
