Router bit GRAPHITE 56H230 — 1 pc pack

GRAPHITE 56H230 router bit is a single-piece shoulder milling cutter with bearing designed for precise machining of wood, PVC and chipboard using a router or trimmer. The cutter head features sintered carbide cutting inserts for durable cutting performance and a bearing that ensures guided, repeatable profiling along edges and templates. The tool is supplied ready to install and fits routers accepting a 6 mm shank.

Advantages

The bearing-mounted design provides controlled guidance along workpiece edges and templates, reducing the need for additional jigs. Sintered carbide cutting inserts deliver wear resistance and consistent cutting quality when shaping, trimming or grooving a range of common woodworking materials. Compact dimensions and a 6 mm shank make the cutter compatible with many hobby and light-professional routers and trimmers.

Suitable for

• Edge profiling and trimming of wooden workpieces
• Shoulder milling and groove formation in cabinetry and furniture components
• Trimming laminate, PVC or chipboard panels to precise dimensions
• Template-guided shaping for decorative edges and moldings

Key specifications

• Cutting head diameter: 31.7 mm
• Cutting height: 12.7 mm
• Shank diameter: 6 mm
• Cutting material: sintered carbide inserts (HM)
• Bearing-guided design for template or edge following

How to use

Mount the router bit securely in the router collet that matches the 6 mm shank and ensure the bit is tightened according to the router manufacturer's instructions. Set the router speed appropriate for the material: lower speeds for PVC and chipboard, medium to high speeds for solid wood, while avoiding excessive feed rates. Use the bearing to run the cutter along the workpiece edge or a template, maintaining consistent pressure and steady motion to achieve a clean profile. Allow the cutter to complete the pass without forcing; multiple light passes produce better results on hard or thick materials.

Usage recommendations

For safety and optimal performance, wear eye and hearing protection and follow the router manufacturer's safety guidelines. Inspect the sintered carbide inserts before use and replace the bit if inserts are chipped or excessively worn. When working with coated panels, reduce speed and take lighter passes to minimize chipping.
