Router bit GRAPHITE 56H233 — single piece, compatible with woodworking routers

GRAPHITE 56H233 router bit supplied as a single piece for woodworking routers. This shoulder milling cutter with bearing is suitable for precision machining of wood, PVC, chipboard and similar panel materials. The cutting head is fitted with sintered carbide inserts for durable cutting performance; the integrated bearing helps guide the cutter along edges and templates. Working part dimensions are 34.9 mm diameter with a 15 mm cutting height and an 8 mm shank diameter, making this tool compatible with routers that accept 8 mm shanks.

Advantages

The cutter head uses hard sintered carbide inserts that maintain sharpness and resist wear under normal routing conditions. An integrated guide bearing provides consistent edge-following and reduces the need for external jigs when profiling edges. The solid shank and balanced head geometry contribute to stable operation and reduced vibration when used within recommended router speed ranges.

Suitable for

• Edge profiling and decorative shoulder milling on wood and wood-based panels
• Trimming laminated or veneered boards following a template
• Routing tasks on PVC and composite panel materials
• Replacing a worn cutter in compatible handheld or table-mounted routers that accept 8 mm shanks

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 34.9 mm
• Cutting height: 15 mm
• Shank diameter: 8 mm
• Carbide (sintered) cutting inserts for improved wear resistance
• Integrated guide bearing for edge following
• Single-piece supply: 1 cutter

How to use

Ensure the router is switched off and disconnected before fitting the cutter. Securely clamp the 8 mm shank in the router collet and tighten according to the router manufacturer's instructions. Set the router speed appropriate for the material and cutter diameter; perform a test cut on scrap material to verify depth and feed rate. Use the guide bearing against the workpiece edge or a template to produce consistent shoulder profiles and trims. Maintain steady feed and avoid excessive axial pressure to prevent chipping or overheating of the inserts.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the carbide inserts regularly for wear or damage and replace the cutter if the inserts are chipped or excessively worn. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (eye and hearing protection, dust extraction) and follow router safety guidelines. For laminated or veneered surfaces, consider a light finish pass to reduce tear-out. Do not exceed the router manufacturer’s recommended speed for 34.9 mm diameter cutters.
