Main Product Description
CMT 861.548.11 is one exact Item Code in the official 7/8/961 corner-beading family. The verified variation row specifies a 3/16-inch (4.76 mm) radius, 1-inch (25.4 mm) diameter, 19/64-inch (7.54 mm) I1 dimension, and 47/64-inch (18.65 mm) cutting length.
The bit has a 2-41/64-inch (67.07 mm) overall length, 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) shank, two HW carbide cutting edges, and right-hand rotation. CMT applies its orange PTFE non-stick coating to help limit residue accumulation and protect the tool body.
CMT identifies the family for traditional beads, edge beads, and renewal of existing beads into molding details. The profile may form an edge bead or a complete corner bead when used in the appropriate professional process and compatible setup.
