Router Bit Straight 1/8' (3.2mm)

Straight Router Bit 1/8" (3.2mm) Classification: Standard (Yellow) The straight router bit is an essential, versatile workhorse in any woodworking shop, designed to make clean, straight cuts into a workpiece. Characterized by its flat bottom and parallel cutting edges—often featuring two flutes and a durable carbide tip—this bit is the go-to tool for a wide range of basic and complex routing applications. It excels at creating square-sided, flat-bottomed recesses such as grooves, dadoes (grooves cut across the wood grain), rabbets (shoulders cut along the edge), and mortises for strong joinery and shelving. Available in a vast array of diameters and lengths, including specialized variations like flush-trim and pattern bits with guide bearings, a quality straight bit ensures precision and consistent results across various materials, including natural woods and wood composites. Application: Router bits are for use with router machines only. Be sure that at least 3/4 of the shaft length is inserted into the router collet. Do not 'bottom-out' the bit in the collet. The shank should be 1/8' from the bottom of the collet. Route in two or more passes when large amounts of stock must be removed. Carpenters Craftsmen Hobbyists Woodworking DIY
