Main Product Description

CMT 801.690.11 belongs to the CMT 801 mortising-bit family for traditional hinge installation and other controlled mortising operations in natural wood and wood composites.

The family uses thick tungsten-carbide tips and negative-shear cutting geometry intended to support clean edges and smooth mortise bottoms when the cutter, jig, router, and workholding are correctly matched.

The exact 801.690.11 configuration uses a 3/4-inch cutting diameter, 3/4-inch cutting length, 1/2-inch shank, and 2-1/4-inch overall length with T2 right-hand geometry.
