Main Product Description

Klein G116.445.R is the exact 1/2-inch-shank Item in the E116–G116 family of HW Z2 finger-grip router bits. The official Item row specifies a 12.7 mm (1/2-inch) shank, 44.5 mm primary diameter, 17 mm secondary diameter, 25 mm primary cutting height, 22 mm secondary cutting height, 63 mm overall length, 8 mm primary radius, and 2 mm secondary radius.

The profile is intended to create integrated pulls in drawer fronts and cabinet doors, providing a positive grip and a comfortable edge for the fingers. Klein notes that the bit can remove a substantial amount of material and recommends using multiple passes when the required stock removal is large.

Verified workpiece groups include softwood, hardwood, and chipboard. Official machine guidance lists CNC machining centres, hand router machines, and router tables. Correct collet fit, cutter clearance, guarding, workholding, and progressive cutting depth are essential for controlled profile routing.

Product Highlights

Integrated Finger-Pull Profile

The verified G116 geometry creates a recessed grip profile for compatible cabinet doors and drawer fronts without separate pull hardware.

Dual-Radius Geometry

The exact 44.5 mm variant combines 8 mm and 2 mm radii with 25 mm and 22 mm profile heights to form the specified grip shape.

HW Carbide Z2 Cutting

Two HW carbide cutting edges support compatible profiling in softwood, hardwood, and chipboard across the listed machine types.

Compatibility & Installation Notes

Confirm the exact G116.445.R Item code. This G-series version uses a 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) shank, not the 12 mm shank supplied on the corresponding E116.445.R variant. Use a clean compatible collet and verify cutter clearance, projection, guarding, fence or CNC toolpath, workholding, feed direction, and machine speed limits. Use multiple passes when removing large amounts of material.

Dedicated Cabinet Finger-Grip Profiling

Klein G116.445.R combines a 44.5 mm primary diameter, 17 mm secondary diameter, dual-radius profile, 25 mm and 22 mm working heights, Z2 HW carbide geometry, and a 1/2-inch shank.

Correct shank identification, collet fit, clearance, guarding, pass depth, workholding, feed direction, and machine parameters are essential to controlled material removal and consistent profile quality.
