Mortising Bit 1/2' X 10mm (ideal For Hinge Recesses) 1/4' Shank

Two flute Metric Straight bit Carbide Tipped This bit is used for cutting shallow mortises for hinges and locksets. Its cutting geometry is calculated to produce an exceptionally clean cut with crisp edges. A proper mortising bit, as pictured, should have a large gullet between the two flutes. Carbide tipped cutting edges feature outstanding cutting tool longevity and performance. Pro-Tech router bits cut through a variety of materials from wood, plywood, MDF and other wood composites, plastics, and solid surfaces. Use a two-flute bit where fine finish is paramount. Two flutes balance the bit, eliminating vibration that degrades the cut finish. Two cuts per revolution yield a smooth surface, but feed rate is slightly reduced. This router bit has a 6.35mm shank (shaft) that will fit most small routers. Please ensure that you select a router bit with a shank (shaft) size that will fit into your router collet. PRO-TECH router bits are manufactured in Taiwan.
