Router bit GRAPHITE 56H228 — 1 pc, standard cutting tool for woodworking

The GRAPHITE 56H228 router bit is a single-piece shoulder milling cutter with bearing designed for woodworking routers. It features a 32 mm diameter head with a 12.9 mm cutting height and an 8 mm shank, and its cutting edges are made of sintered carbide (HM) for improved wear resistance. The integrated bearing provides guided profiling along edges and templates, making the tool suitable for precision machining of wood, PVC and chipboard. Supplied as one piece, the tool fits routers that accept an 8 mm shank and is intended for both professional and DIY trimming and shaping tasks.

Advantages

The solid construction combines a carbide-tipped cutting head and a guide bearing to deliver consistent edge profiles and grooves. A 32 mm cutting diameter and 12.9 mm cutting height offer a balance between material removal and control. The 8 mm shank ensures compatibility with common compact and handheld routers. Carbide cutting inserts provide longer life and maintain sharpness when working with wood, laminated boards and PVC.

Suitable for

• Edge profiling and rounding of wooden workpieces
• Trimming and finishing of laminated chipboard and MDF
• Routing PVC edges and plastic trim
• Template-guided machining with bearing support

Key specifications

• Pack quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Install the router bit in a router collet matched to the 8 mm shank and tighten securely according to the router manufacturer’s instructions. Use the bearing to follow the edge or template and set router depth so the 12.9 mm cutting height achieves the required profile without overloading the cutter. Operate the router at the speed range recommended for carbide-tipped bits and the material being cut. Make light passes when shaping laminated or veneered panels to avoid chipping; multiple shallow passes are preferred over heavy cuts.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate eye and hearing protection and use dust extraction or a mask when machining wood, chipboard or PVC. Check the bearing and carbide inserts for wear before each use and replace the bit if cutting performance declines. Match feed rate and router speed to the material to extend tool life and ensure a clean profile.
