30° HW
Chamfer Router Bit
CMT 857.501.11 is the exact 30° bearing-guided chamfer bit with a verified 1-1/2-inch (38.1 mm) cutting diameter, 7/8-inch (22.23 mm) cutting length, 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) shank, two carbide-tipped cutting edges, and right-hand rotation.
Main Product Description
CMT 857.501.11 is one exact Item Code in the official 8/957 chamfer-router-bit family. The live variation row specifies a 30° angle, 1-1/2-inch (38.1 mm) diameter, and 7/8-inch (22.23 mm) cutting length.
The verified overall length is 2-25/32 inches (70.64 mm), with a 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) shank, HW carbide cutting material, and right-hand rotation. Supporting manufacturer data identifies two carbide-tipped cutting edges and CMT’s orange PTFE non-stick coating.
CMT describes the family for clean bevels and chamfers in edge work, aligned multi-sided forms, decorative projects, and larger architectural components. Exact selection should be based on the official 1-1/2-inch diameter rather than rounded one-inch reseller naming.
