If you're cutting mortises for hinges, locks, or other joinery, this CMT mortising bit is a total workhorse.

It's got a 1/2-inch cutting diameter and a 1/4-inch shank – that standard size that fits most plunge routers and trim routers.

Two carbide-tipped flutes give you clean, sharp cuts with no splintering or rough bottoms – exactly what you want for perfect hinge fitting.

It's designed to work with most popular mortising jigs, so you can knock out precise, repeatable cuts all day long.

CMT is a well-respected brand in woodworking, known for quality tooling.

This bit is no exception – it's built to handle the heat and stay sharp.
