CMT Fatigue Proof® Steel CMT router and boring bits start from solid bar stock steel. A hot drawing process pulls all the fibers of the steel in one direction resulting in extra strong and resilient bars. This provides a highly uniform steel to machine the bits from - our router bit bodies and shanks can withstand even the most demanding mechanical and thermal stresses, acting as perfect shock absorbers during cutting.
The most unique and important characteristic of the CMT Reverse Glue Joint Bit is its capacity to produce an almost indestructible glue joint quickly and without error. Ideal for routing wide dimension panels, doors and furniture pieces.
By accurately centering the bit to the wood, the upper and lower vertical cutting edges of the bit will cut equal proportions. Simply run one edge of the panel, turn the panel over, and then run the opposite edge - you produce perfectly harmonized reverse cuts that match up to make flawless joints.
Useful tips: When glueing up, apply enough pressure to securely seal the joint. Insufficient pressure results in a weak joint and excessive pressure will distort the wood.
This CMT Reverse Glue Joint Bit has a 1-3/4" (44.4 mm) cutting diameter, a max joint thickness of 1-3/16" and a 1/2" shank.
