Long Blade Straight Bit 1/2'x1-1/2'

Features

• ½″ diameter straight profile for true, square-walled grooves.
• 1-½″ cutting length provides extra reach for deeper operations.
• Precision-ground cutting edges for smooth finish and reduced tear-out.
• Rigid body to minimise deflection and chatter on long plunges.
• Router-collet compatible (use the correctly matched shank/collet size).

Benefits

• Deep capacity: handles thicker panels, laminated stacks and long mortises.
• Clean bottoms: flat-floor grooves reduce sanding and fit-up time.
• Accurate tracking: works well with fences, guides and templates.

Extra Information

• For deep cuts, step down in stages (3–5 mm per pass) to control heat and load.
• Match RPM and feed rate to material; avoid dwelling to prevent burning.
• Ensure the bit is fully seated in the collet (at least 80% shank engagement) and tightened securely.
• Clear chips between passes — especially important with long cutting edges.

Safety

• Wear eye, hearing, and dust protection.
• Secure the workpiece and 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 dull, chipped, or cracked.
