Cutting Router Bit DeWalt DT90006 — shank 8 mm, cutting Ø 14 mm, cutting length 20 mm, overall length 52 mm

DeWalt DT90006 cutting router bit with an 8 mm shank, 14 mm cutting diameter and 20 mm cutting length is designed for use in hand-held routers and router tables equipped with 8 mm collets. The tool provides precise trimming, grooving and profiling in wood and wood-based materials. With a total length of 52 mm it balances reach and stability for common woodworking operations that require a moderate cutting diameter and controlled depth.

Advantages

This router bit features a standard 8 mm shank for compatibility with routers that accept this size and a 14 mm cutting diameter that suits a range of finishing and joinery tasks. The 20 mm cutting length allows for consistent material removal without excessive passes, while the overall 52 mm length gives adequate clearance for table and handheld setups. The bit is manufactured to meet typical industry tolerances for concentricity and cutting geometry, enabling clean edges and repeatable results on soft and hard woods as well as many wood-based panels.

Suitable for

• Trimming and edge profiling of solid wood and mouldings
• Grooving and slotting for fittings and joinery
• Shaping furniture components and cabinetry parts
• Working with plywood, MDF and particleboard for finishing cuts

Key specifications

• Shank diameter: 8 mm
• Cutting diameter: 14 mm
• Cutting length: 20 mm
• Overall length: 52 mm
• Intended materials: wood and wood-based panels

How to use

Install the router bit into a router or router table collet sized for an 8 mm shank, ensuring the bit is seated securely and tightened according to the router manufacturer's torque instructions. Set the router speed and feed rate appropriate to the material: higher speeds for clean cuts in hardwoods may be required, while slower passes reduce tear-out on veneered panels. Make multiple shallow passes rather than a single deep cut to preserve bit life and improve surface finish. Use appropriate fences, guides or bearing guides to control profiles and maintain uniform cuts.

Usage recommendations

Wear eye and hearing protection and use dust extraction when routing. Inspect the bit for damage or dullness before use and replace when cutting quality degrades. For best results on veneered or laminated panels, use sacrificial backer boards or support the panel edges to reduce splintering.
