CMT Rabbeting Bit - 1-3/8 in. Dia. - 1/4 in. Shank

CMT Rabbeting Bit – 1–3/8 in. Dia. – 1/4 in. Shank

CMT carbide– faced rabbeting bits deliver fast, accurate cuts for a wide range of woodworking applications. Create inset doors and drawer fronts, produce strong rabbet joints, mill precise tongue and groove joints, and complete many other challenging tasks with ease.

Designed for dependable performance, these router bits feature durable carbide cutting edges that provide clean results and long cutting life for professional woodworkers and hobbyists alike.

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 close attention when making the initial cut with small diameter bits. For best results, make cuts in multiple passes when working with smaller diameter router 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 router bits and boring bits are produced with precise shanks and bodies for accurate balance and performance.
• Heat Forged Steel Bodies for Large Diameter Bits: Larger diameter bits require additional manufacturing steps, including heat forging the steel before precision machining. This process creates a radial grain structure that provides increased strength and durability.
• Brazing: CMT has pioneered advanced brazing techniques to create a secure bond between steel bodies and carbide tips. Custom computerized brazing equipment helps eliminate inconsistencies, while the silver–copper– silver brazing process provides shock absorption to protect carbide edges during demanding cuts.
• Specially Formulated Carbide for Specific Applications: Different woodworking materials require different cutting characteristics. CMT engineers carbide compositions specifically for each application, balancing hardness for demanding cuts with durability for high-impact operations.
• Grinding and Sharpening: The final production stage uses multi-axis CNC grinding machines to achieve precise cutting angles and razor-sharp edges. Each bevel is finished to exact tolerances for exceptional cutting performance and long tool life.
