CMT 852.504.11 Dado & Planer Bit – 1-1/2 Inch, 2 Carbide Edges, Downward Shear Design For Hinge Mortises

About This Product

This CMT 852.
504.

11 Dado and Planer Bit is a beast for cleaning out dadoes, planing rough stock, and cutting hinge mortises.
It's got two thick carbide-tipped cutting edges with a unique downward shear angle – that means the cutters push wood fibers down as they spin, giving you super clean, splinter-free edges and a perfectly flat bottom.

No rough spots, no fuzzy edges.

The cutting length is 5/8 inch, and the overall length is about 2-49/64 inches – so it's got decent reach for deeper cuts while staying stable in your router.

It's designed to fit the most popular mortising jigs, making it super versatile.

You can use it on natural wood or composites, and it'll strip paint or varnish just as easily as it cuts fresh stock.

If you're building cabinets, doing joinery, or just need a reliable bit for clean dados, this CMT is a solid choice.
The carbide stays sharp for a long time, so you get consistent results over many jobs.
A favorite among woodworkers for good reason – it just does the job right.
