Its carefully engineered cutter geometry, stable 12 mm shaft and sharp HW cutting edges work together to produce controlled cuts and beautifully clean surfaces. A soldered tungsten carbide base cutting edge also makes the cutter suitable for plunge cutting, allowing grooves and openings to begin within the workpiece rather than only from an exposed edge. With a generous 50 mm cutting length and 100 mm overall length, this professional router bit is ideal for furniture manufacturing, fitting installation, solid wood, panel materials and demanding template-guided routing with compatible Festool routers.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfessional HW groove-cutting performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of sharp tungsten carbide cutting edges, optimised geometry and a rigid cutter shaft provides precision, surface quality and dependable service life.
