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
01
Integrated Finger-Pull Profile
The verified G116 geometry creates a recessed grip profile for compatible cabinet doors and drawer fronts without separate pull hardware.
02
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.
03
HW Carbide Z2 Cutting
Two HW carbide cutting edges support compatible profiling in softwood, hardwood, and chipboard across the listed machine types.
Before Machining
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.
Production Outcome
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.
