Slot Cutter Set with 1/2-Inch Shank

This carbide-tipped slot cutter set is designed specifically for creating slots, grooves, and rabbets in materials ranging from 1/8" to 23/32" in height. It is particularly well-suited for making biscuit joints and achieving precise tongue and groove joints. Please note that this set is intended for use on router tables only and is not compatible with hand-held routers.

Key features of the router bit include: - Perfectly-balanced shank and body for enhanced durability. - High-strength steel body for superior hardness, fatigue resistance, and abrasion resistance. - Sinter Hip Hi-Density Industrial Chrome Carbide cutting edges for extended cutting life. - Three times longer-lasting mirror finish achieved through multi-axis CNC grinding. - Anti-kickback design for safer operation. - Silver-copper-silver sandwich brazing for flexibility and impact resistance during woodworking. - Non-stick Orange Shield Coating to minimize friction and heat buildup.

The set comprises: - 4 carbide-tipped cutters: CMT 822.332.11 (1/8"), CMT 822.340.11 (5/32"), CMT 822.348.11 (3/16"), CMT 822.364.11 (1/4"). - 1/2" arbor. - 7/8" ball bearing for achieving cutting depths up to 1/2". - 17 shims in various sizes (8 x 0.1mm, 4 x 0.5mm, 3 x 1mm, 2 x 4mm).

CMT router bits were recognized as the Best Overall Router Bits by Wood Magazine® following a comparison test against other brands.

For safety, it's crucial to always use shims between the cutters and between the ball bearing and the cutters. The distance between cutters can vary from 0.039" to 0.669". Shims should be arranged as illustrated in the provided images, using only the specified thicknesses included in the set. Ensure all cutters are assembled in the correct rotational direction (clockwise when viewed down the arbor).

Additional tips for optimal performance: - The 791.711.00 bearings kit supports cutting depths of 1/4" and 3/8". - Avoid allowing the carbide edges of the cutters to make contact; follow the shim arrangement guidelines closely.

This slot cutter set not only ensures precision and longevity in woodworking projects but also prioritizes safety and ease of use on router tables.
