Router Bit DeWalt DT90002, shank 8 mm, cutting dia 6 mm, cutting length 19 mm, overall length 55 mm

DeWalt DT90002 router bit with an 8 mm shank is designed for precision trimming and grooving in woodworking applications. The tool features a 6 mm cutting diameter and a 19 mm cutting length within a 55 mm overall length, providing a compact profile suitable for both handheld routers and router table setups. Constructed to meet common shop demands, this router bit is intended for clean edge profiling, slotting, and detail work on softwoods and hardwoods.

Advantages

The 8 mm shank offers stable clamping in collets and reduced runout for accurate cuts. A 6 mm cutting diameter is well suited for narrow grooves and precise trimming, while the 19 mm cutting length gives sufficient engagement without excessive bearing in deep cuts. The compact overall length promotes maneuverability in confined workpieces and helps maintain control during handheld routing. Material compatibility allows use across a range of wood types.

How to use

Install the router bit into a properly sized 8 mm collet and tighten according to the router manufacturer's torque recommendations. Set router speed appropriate to the wood species and the 6 mm cutting diameter; lower speeds for hard, dense timbers and higher speeds for softer woods. Make shallow, consistent passes to reach the desired depth, especially when cutting slots or performing profiling. Use proper edge guides or table fences to maintain a straight cut and keep feed rate steady to avoid burning or chipping.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate eye and hearing protection and use dust extraction when routing. Inspect the bit for damage or dullness before use and replace if cutting performance degrades. For best results, perform test cuts on scrap material to confirm speed and feed settings for the workpiece.
