With cutting flutes that spiral in opposite directions, these solid-carbide flush trim compression bits combine upcut and downcut geometries that reduce tearout and chipping on both faces of the workpiece, for superior cutting quality. They’re ideal for splintery or chip-prone materials such as veneered plywood or melamine. Top and bottom bearings allow templates to be mounted above or below the workpiece, for added convenience.
Rockler Top and Bottom Bearing Template-Routing Compression Bit Details:
- Compression design simultaneously pulls shavings upward from the bottom and pushes shavings downward from the top, resulting in a clean cut on both faces of the workpiece
- Bearing and cutter diameters match—bearings roll along template and flutes trim material flush
- Ideal for veneered or melamine surfaces and woods with interlocked grain
- Razor-sharp flutes and shear-cutting action reduce strain on the router motor, for more efficient cutting
- Solid carbide cutter brazed to steel shank offers long service life
- Suitable for handheld routers and router tables; not for CNC use
Warning: Edges are extremely sharp; always wear protective gloves when handling the bit.
