Main Product Description
CMT 812.629.11 is one exact Item Code within the official 7/8/912 long-series straight-router-bit family. The verified row specifies a 1/2-inch cutting diameter, 2-1/2-inch cutting length, 4-3/8-inch overall length, 1/2-inch shank, two cutting edges, HW active cutting material, and right-hand rotation.
CMT builds the family with special Fatigue Proof steel and micrograin carbide cutting edges. The long-series design is supported by the family's exceptional chip-ejection geometry, orange non-stick PTFE surface protection, and quality controls for cutting tolerance, balance, and concentricity.
The current CMT catalogue corroborates the exact variant at 12.7 mm cutting diameter, 63.5 mm cutting length, 111 mm overall length, and 12.7 mm shank diameter. CMT identifies the family for industrial-scale routing in plywood, composite panels, and natural wood.
