Choose an option to view item availability.
Our professional/industrial grade bits have tungsten carbide inserts ground on CNC (Computer Numeric Control) machines using 600x diamond wheels. Tungsten carbide maintains its hardness at high temperatures and holds an edge far longer than high-carbon or high-speed steels. The bit bodies have a non-stick coating for easy resin removal.
The 3/8” straight plunge bits are suitable for use with our router letter template set.
A 1/2" to 3/8" split bushing adapter, to allow use of 3/8" diameter shaft bits in a 1/2" capacity router, is available separately.
Each bit includes an advanced polymer friction-fit holder that can be mounted horizontally or upright.

Not necessarily, the shank diameter has to match your collet.
The coating helps the bit shed resin as it cuts, so it builds up less gunk than an uncoated bit and needs less scraping to keep cutting cleanly.
As a straight router bit, it's sized for clean, flat-bottom grooves and mortises. The 3/8" diameter version is sized to work with the router letter template set.
No, the 1/2" to 3/8" split bushing adapter that lets a 3/8" shank bit run in a 1/2" capacity router is available separately.
