Main Product Description
CMT 812.628.11 is one exact Item Code within the official 7/8/912 straight-router-bit long series. The verified row specifies a 1/2-inch cutting diameter, 2-inch cutting length, 4-1/4-inch overall length, 1/2-inch shank, two cutting edges, HW active cutting material, and right-hand rotation.
CMT describes the family as a double-edged industrial cutter made with fatigue-resistant steel and micrograin carbide. The trademark orange non-stick coating helps reduce resin, pitch, and residue buildup while the geometry supports swarf removal and consistent routing in compatible production work.
Official family guidance identifies plywood, composites, and natural wood for compatible industrial production. Final machine compatibility, tooling condition, workholding, guarding, extraction, and operating limits remain subject to current CMT and equipment-manufacturer documentation.
