Straight Wood Router Bit Condor CON-RB-102 8 x 19 mm, 8 mm shank with bearing

Straight wood router bit Condor CON-RB-102 with 8 mm cutting diameter and 19 mm cutting length is designed for precise trimming, grooving and edge profiling in solid wood and engineered wood materials. The bit is fitted with an 8 mm shank and a guide bearing that helps maintain consistent contact with workpiece edges or templates. Compatible with routers that accept 8 mm shanks, this straight router bit provides a reliable cutting geometry for joinery, cabinetry and detailed trimming tasks.

Advantages

This straight router bit offers stable cutting performance and accurate guidance thanks to the integrated bearing. Its 8 mm shank ensures secure clamping in compatible collets and reduces vibration during operation. The 19 mm cutting length allows for working on deeper grooves and thicker edge profiles while the modest 8 mm diameter is suitable for fine detail work. The design balances material removal with control, delivering consistent results on solid wood and wood-based panels.

Suitable for

• Trimming and flush cutting with templates and guides
• Grooving and slotting in hardwoods and softwoods
• Edge profiling and trimming of cabinet doors and furniture parts
• Detail work and joinery such as dadoes and rebates

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 8 mm
• Cutting length: 19 mm
• Shank diameter: 8 mm
• Guide bearing: fitted for edge/template guidance
• Intended materials: solid wood and wood-based materials (plywood, MDF, particleboard)
• Typical applications: trimming, grooving, edge work

How to use

Install the bit into a router with an 8 mm collet and tighten according to the router manufacturer's torque recommendations. Use the guide bearing against a template, edge or straight guide to follow the desired profile. Make multiple shallow passes rather than removing the full depth at once to reduce load on the cutter and router. Maintain a consistent feed rate and keep the router base flat on the workpiece for even cutting. Wear appropriate eye, ear and respiratory protection when routing wood and wood-based panels.

Usage recommendations

For best results, ensure the bearing spins freely and is free of debris before use, and set cutting depth in small increments to prevent tear-out. Use sharp bits and appropriate router speed for the material: higher speeds for clean cuts in hardwoods and moderate speeds for chip-prone composites. Periodically inspect the shank and cutting edges for wear and replace the bit if performance degrades.
