Tork Craft Router Bit — Straight 12 mm
A robust 12 mm straight router bit for crisp grooves, dados, mortises and recesses. Delivers square walls and flat bottoms in wood, MDF and plywood—ideal for cabinetry, hardware pockets and template routing.
Extra Information
- Make multiple shallow passes for deep cuts; clear chips between passes.
- Match RPM & feed rate to the material to avoid burning.
- Ensure the bit is fully seated and the collet is tight before use.
- Use dust extraction where possible for better visibility and surface quality.
Pro Tip
- For hinge or hardware pockets, score the outline with a knife, then remove waste with a series of shallow plunges to keep edges crisp.
- On end-grain cuts, take a light climb-cut pass to reduce breakout, then complete the cut feeding against rotation.
Features
- Straight profile for clean, square-walled cuts.
- 12 mm cutting diameter — versatile width for dados and recesses.
- Precision-ground edges for smooth finish and reduced tear-out.
- Rigid body helps minimise chatter in deeper passes.
- Router-collet compatible (use the correctly sized shank/collet).
Benefits
- Clean finish: flat-bottom grooves with minimal sanding.
- Accurate tracking: performs well with fences, jigs and templates.
- All-rounder: suitable for joinery and general shop routing tasks.
Safety
- Wear eye & hearing protection; use a dust mask or extraction.
- Secure the workpiece; feed against bit rotation to prevent kickback.
- Let the router reach full speed before engaging; stop fully before lifting out.
- Inspect bit and collet regularly; replace if worn or damaged.
