Wood Straight Router Bit Condor 12 x 25 mm, 8 mm shank (CON-RB-104)

Condor Wood Straight Router Bit CON-RB-104 is a precision cutting tool with a 12 mm cutting diameter and 25 mm cutting length, mounted on an 8 mm shank. Intended for straight plunge cuts, slotting, trimming and grooving in solid wood and wood-based panels, this router bit is compatible with both handheld routers and router tables. The construction and geometry are optimized for clean chip evacuation and consistent edge quality when machining common woodworking materials.

Advantages

The bit delivers accurate straight cuts and consistent slot widths thanks to its precise 12 mm cutting diameter. A 25 mm cutting length provides sufficient depth for many joinery and grooving operations while the 8 mm shank ensures secure clamping in standard router collets. The cutter geometry promotes effective chip removal and reduced tear-out on typical wood and panel materials, supporting repeatable results in cabinetry and general woodworking tasks.

Suitable for

• Straight plunge cutting in solid wood
• Grooving and slotting in particleboard, MDF and plywood
• Trim and flush cutting operations
• Joinery tasks such as dadoes and rebates
• Use in handheld routers and router tables

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 12 mm
• Cutting length (cutting height): 25 mm
• Shank diameter: 8 mm
• Intended materials: solid wood and wood-based panels (MDF, plywood, particleboard)
• Cut type: straight cutting for plunging, grooving and trimming

How to use

Install the 8 mm shank securely in the router collet and ensure the bit is tightened to the manufacturer’s recommended depth. Set the router speed according to the workpiece material and perform test cuts on scrap material to verify depth and feed rate. For plunge cuts, use a steady downward motion and control feed rate to avoid burning. When using a router table, employ appropriate featherboards and a push block to maintain workpiece stability and consistent cut quality.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (eye and hearing protection) and secure the workpiece before cutting. For best results, make multiple shallow passes rather than attempting a single deep cut, and clean the bit after use to maintain cutting performance.
