CMT Rabbeting Bit - 1-3/8 in. Dia. - 1/2 in. Shank

CMT carbide-faced rabbeting bits deliver fast, accurate cuts for a variety of woodworking applications. These versatile bits allow you to produce inset doors and drawer fronts quickly, create strong rabbet joints, mill precise tongue and groove joints, and complete many other routing tasks that would otherwise be time-consuming and difficult.

Designed for durability and precision, CMT rabbeting bits feature high-quality carbide cutting edges that provide clean results and long-lasting performance in demanding woodworking environments.

Safety tips: Dust and chips from laminate materials can be hazardous to your health and safety. Always wear a dust mask and eye protection when routing.

Safety precautions: Never use damaged or worn bits. Always operate at the recommended feed rate without forcing the bit. Pay particular attention when making initial cuts with small diameter bits. For best results, make cuts in multiple passes when using small diameter bits.

How CMT Produces High-Quality Router Bits

• Turning, Milling and Cutting CMT continues to invest in advanced manufacturing technology. Fully automated CNC machinery, operated by specially trained technicians, ensures that router bit shanks and bodies are produced with exceptional accuracy and balance.
• Heat-Forged Steel Bodies for Large Diameter Bits Large diameter router bits require additional manufacturing steps, including heat forging the steel before precision machining. This process creates a radial grain structure that improves strength, durability, and reliability.
• Advanced Brazing Technology CMT has pioneered the art of brazing with custom-designed computerized equipment that eliminates inconsistencies found in traditional hand brazing. The silver-copper-silver brazing process creates a strong bond between the steel body and carbide tips while providing shock absorption to protect the carbide during demanding cuts.
• Specially Formulated Carbide for Specific Applications Different woodworking materials require different cutting characteristics. CMT develops specialized carbide formulations to match each application, from ultra-hard carbide for challenging materials like laminates to impact-resistant carbide for large profile cutting.
• Precision Grinding and Sharpening Every CMT router bit receives precision grinding and sharpening on multi-axis CNC machines. Each cutting angle and bevel is refined to exact specifications, creating edges that are exceptionally sharp, durable, and consistent.
