Router bit GRAPHITE 56H237 — single pack, woodworking cutting tool

GRAPHITE 56H237 router bit supplied as a single pack item is a shoulder milling cutter with bearing designed for use with handheld and table routers. The tool features a carbide-tipped cutting head for consistent edge quality when machining wood, wood-based panels, PVC and similar materials. A mounted guide bearing ensures controlled profiling along edges and templates, while the 6 mm shank fits routers with compatible collets.

Advantages

The cutting inserts are made of sintered carbide, providing increased wear resistance and stable cutting performance over extended use. The integrated bearing guides the cutter precisely along edges or templates, reducing the need for additional jigs. Compact working dimensions make the bit suitable for shallow shoulder cuts and decorative profiling with minimal material removal and predictable results.

Suitable for

• Shaping and trimming edges on solid wood and wood-based panels
• Decorative shoulder milling and small profile cutting
• Routing along templates or workpiece edges using the guide bearing
• Light trimming of PVC and similar plastics

Key specifications

• Cutting head diameter: 25.7 mm
• Cutting height: 9.7 mm
• Shank diameter: 6 mm
• Cutting material: sintered carbide (carbide-tipped inserts)
• Guide: mounted bearing for edge and template guidance
• Pack quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Install the router bit into a router collet that accepts a 6 mm shank and tighten according to the router manufacturer’s instructions. Set router speed appropriate for the work material and the small-diameter carbide head; start with a moderate speed and adjust if needed to avoid burning or chipping. Use the bearing to follow the workpiece edge or a template, make light passes to remove material incrementally, and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. Always use proper personal protective equipment and observe the router and cutter safety guidelines.

Usage recommendations

For best results, make multiple shallow passes rather than a single deep cut, feed the router in a direction that keeps the cutter engagement stable for your router type, and ensure the bearing spins freely without debris. Check and replace worn carbide inserts to maintain clean cuts and extend the tool’s service life.
