Frequently Asked Questions
What applications is this straight bit best used for?
This bit is highly versatile and ideal for cutting dadoes, grooves, mortises, and routing pockets in solid wood, plywood, and MDF.
Does this bit have a bearing for template routing?
No, this is a standard straight bit without a guide bearing. It is intended for use with a router edge guide, a straight edge fence, a router table, or CNC machines.
Can this bit plunge directly into the material?
Yes, but it is recommended to plunge slowly or use a ramping motion (moving forward slightly while plunging) to clear chips efficiently and prevent burning the material.
