Wood Straight Router Bit Condor 8 x 19 mm, 8 mm shank (CON-RB-202)

Condor Wood Straight Router Bit CON-RB-202 is a solid carbide-tipped cutting tool with an 8 mm cutting diameter and 19 mm cutting length mounted on an 8 mm shank. It is designed for straight trimming, grooving and clean edge work in a wide range of soft and hardwoods. The bit fits routers with an 8 mm collet and is suitable for both handheld and table-mounted routing operations, providing consistent cutting depth and straight-sided profiles when used at recommended speeds and feeds.

Advantages

This straight router bit provides precise, repeatable cuts with good chip evacuation thanks to its flute geometry. The 8 mm shank ensures secure clamping in compatible router collets, reducing runout and improving finish quality. Its 19 mm cutting length allows for deeper grooves and rabbets without multiple passes, while the 8 mm cutting diameter suits a variety of joinery and trimming tasks. The tool is compatible with common woodworking routers and is suitable for both production and workshop use.

Suitable for

• Straight trimming and edge profiling on solid wood and veneered panels
• Grooving and slotting for joints and hardware installation
• Rabbets and dadoes in cabinet making and joinery
• Decorative milling and template routing

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 8 mm
• Cutting length: 19 mm
• Shank diameter: 8 mm
• Material compatibility: softwoods and hardwoods, veneered boards
• Recommended use: handheld routers and table routers with matching collet

How to use

Install the router bit into an 8 mm collet and tighten the router spindle according to the router manufacturer's instructions to minimize runout. Set the cutting depth incrementally and make multiple shallow passes rather than a single deep cut when working with dense hardwoods. Maintain a steady feed rate and allow the bit's flutes to clear chips frequently; for long cuts consider using a push block or guide to ensure consistent pressure and straightness. Observe all safety precautions including eye and ear protection and secure the workpiece before routing.

Usage recommendations

Use moderate spindle speeds appropriate for the workpiece material and router capacity; reduce feed rate on hardwoods and increase for softer materials. Sharpen or replace the bit when cutting quality declines, and routinely clean resin buildup to prolong cutting performance.
