Ultra-Shear 1/2" Shank, 3-Flute Solid Carbide Spiral Router Bits
The Ultra-Shear 1/2" Shank Solid Carbide Router Bit includes four cut lengths in 1/2" cut diameter— 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2", and 2"— These dimensions are offered in both Up-Cut & Down-Cut versions.
Optimized for Various Routing Systems
Whether using a trammel, edge guide, router table, horizontal router system, or CNC machine, Ultra-Shear router bits provide exceptional performance. They deliver clean cuts and long-lasting tool life. These American-made bits are crafted with precision, using top-quality materials and state-of-the-art CNC grinding equipment.
Bits for Mortise and Tenon Work
For mortise and tenon work, especially through-mortise joints, the 2" cut length 1/2" diameter bits are great. These bits offer generous cut lengths and are held to strict tolerances, making them perfect for CNC machines and horizontal routers.
Increased Chip Evacuation & Increased Feed Rates
The 3-Flute design add efficiency compared to our 2-Flute version, boosting the chip evacuation and increasing the feed rate.
Choosing Between Up-Cut and Down-Cut Bits
Up-Cut Bits: Ideal for dadoes, slotting, and full-edge cutting in solid wood, Up-Cut bits effectively pull chips out of the kerf.
Down-Cut Bits: Perfect for rabbeting and working with cabinet-grade plywood, Down-Cut bits slice down into the material, preventing surface fibers from lifting.
Made in the USA
All Ultra-Shear Solid Carbide bits are manufactured in Strongsville, Ohio facility. We use high-quality carbide blanks, ultra-fine grinding wheels, and advanced CNC grinding equipment to produce great American-made router bits.
