Wood Straight Router Bit 14 x 19 mm, 8 mm Shank — Condor CON-RB-205

Wood Straight Router Bit 14 x 19 mm with an 8 mm shank from Condor is a solid cutting tool designed for producing precise straight cuts, grooves and dadoes in a variety of wood types. The bit’s 14 x 19 mm cutting profile provides a defined edge and consistent material removal, while the 8 mm shank ensures compatibility with handheld routers and router tables equipped with an 8 mm collet. Intended for joinery, cabinetry and edge trimming tasks, this router bit delivers repeatable results when set up and used according to standard woodworking practices.

Advantages

The straight cutting geometry offers accurate, clean cuts with minimal tear-out when used at appropriate feed rates and with sharp cutting edges. An 8 mm shank provides stable mounting and reduces runout in compatible collets, enhancing cut quality. The bit’s dimensions make it suitable for standard groove and dado widths used in cabinetmaking and furniture assembly, enabling consistent joint fit and reliable material removal during profiling and slotting operations.

Suitable for

• Routing straight grooves and dados in softwoods and hardwoods
• Joinery tasks such as slotting for loose tenons and shelf supports
• Cabinetmaking and furniture assembly requiring repeatable groove widths
• Edge trimming and trimming work on components and panels

Key specifications

• Cutting profile: straight router bit
• Cutting dimensions: 14 mm x 19 mm
• Shank diameter: 8 mm
• Compatible with handheld routers and router tables using an 8 mm collet
• Suitable for use in softwoods and hardwoods

How to use

Install the router bit into the router collet and tighten to the manufacturer’s recommended torque, leaving a short portion of the shank exposed to ensure secure clamping. Set cutting depth incrementally and make test cuts on scrap material to verify fit and finish before working on the final piece. Use steady, controlled feed rates and multiple shallow passes for deeper grooves to reduce load on the bit and improve surface quality. Keep the workpiece supported and use appropriate guides, fences or templates to maintain alignment.

Usage recommendations

Maintain sharp cutting edges for optimal performance; re-sharpen or replace the bit when cutting quality deteriorates. Use dust extraction and eye and hearing protection during operation. Avoid excessive speeds and aggressive feeds that can cause burning or premature wear; follow your router’s speed recommendations for 8 mm shank bits and the material being cut.
