Straight Router Bit Two Flute

Cutting Diameter: 1/2" (12.7mm)
Classification: Standard (Yellow)

The Two-Flute Straight Router Bit is a core staple for any woodworker who demands a fine finish on basic, square-sided cuts.

Engineered with two precision-ground carbide-tipped cutting edges, this bit provides superior balance and minimal vibration by allowing two cuts per revolution. This geometry results in an exceptionally smooth and clean surface ideal for applications where the final appearance is critical.

It is the perfect choice for routing precise grooves, dadoes, and rabbets in hardwood, softwood, plywood, and various composite materials.

While the two flutes offer a cleaner cut than single-flute alternatives, requiring a slightly slower feed rate for optimal chip clearance, the trade-off is a high-quality, professional finish, making it indispensable for joinery work, cabinet construction, and general-purpose edge-routing.

Application:

Router bits are for use with router machines only.
Be sure that at least 3/4 of the shaft length is inserted into the router collet.
Do not 'bottom-out' the bit in the collet. The shank should be 1/8' from the bottom of the collet.
Route in two or more passes when large amounts of stock must be removed.

Extra Information

Make several progressive passes to achieve full depth cleanly.
Adjust feed rate and RPM to suit material and depth of cut.
Ensure the router bit is properly seated and tightened in the collet.
Use fences, guides or templates for straight, controlled results.

Pro Tip

When cutting deep grooves, use an upcut spiral pass for chip clearance, then follow with this straight bit for a smooth finish.
For dados in veneered plywood, make a shallow scoring pass first to avoid splintering at the surface.

Features

Straight profile: delivers true, square-walled cuts with flat bottoms.
12.7 mm (½″) cutting diameter — ideal for standard dado and groove sizing.
Precision-ground carbide edges provide a cleaner cut and longer service life.
Heavy-duty body construction for stability and reduced vibration.
Router-collet compatible — secure fit for reliable, accurate operation.

Benefits

Smooth finish: clean, burn-free grooves and dados.
Strong performance: large diameter reduces flex in deep cuts.
Multi-purpose: suitable for joinery, cabinet slots, template work, and trimming.

Safety

Wear eye, hearing and dust protection when routing.
Secure the workpiece; feed against the bit’s rotation to prevent kickback.
Let the router reach full speed before engaging and stop fully before removing.
Inspect the bit and collet regularly and replace if worn or damaged.
