Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can I cut with a TCT straight bit?
This bit is ideal for abrasive composite materials like MDF, particleboard, melamine, and plywood, as well as natural hard and soft woods.
What does TCT stand for and why does it matter?
TCT stands for Tungsten Carbide Tipped. It means the cutting edges are made of highly durable carbide brazed onto a strong steel body. This provides excellent heat resistance and a much longer cutting life compared to standard high-speed steel bits.
What type of cuts is this bit best used for?
With its flat cutting profile and rigid 1/2" shank, it is highly recommended for general-purpose board sizing, slotting, grooving, and cutting dadoes or rabbets.
