Router bit GRAPHITE 56H238 — single pack, 1 pc

GRAPHITE 56H238 router bit supplied as a single pack (1 pc) is a shoulder milling cutter with bearing for routers and trimmers that accept standard 8 mm shanks. The cutter head measures 25.7 mm in diameter and 9.7 mm in height and is fitted with sintered carbide (HM) cutting inserts for machining wood, PVC, chipboard and similar materials. An integrated guide bearing provides consistent edge guidance and facilitates repeatable profiling and trimming operations on workpieces.

Advantages

The solid design combines a carbide-tipped head with a bearing for accurate contact with the workpiece edge, reducing the need for external guides. The 8 mm shank ensures compatibility with many handheld and table-mounted routers. Carbide cutting inserts offer increased wear resistance and retain sharpness during fine trimming and profiling. Supplied as a single piece, the bit is suitable as a spare or replacement for specific jobs without excess packaging.

Suitable for

• Edge profiling and shoulder trimming on wood and wood-based panels
• Trimming decorative edges on laminated surfaces and PVC
• Precision joint and rebate machining where guided cutting is required
• Replacement of worn or damaged router bits in workshop toolsets

Key specifications

• Cutter head height: 9.7 mm
• Shank diameter: 8 mm
• Cutting material: sintered carbide (HM) inserts
• Feature: integrated guide bearing for edge guidance
• Pack quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Install the router bit into a compatible router or trimmer collet that accepts an 8 mm shank and ensure the collet is tightened securely. Set the router speed appropriate for the material—lower speeds for laminated or chipboard, higher speeds for solid wood—and perform a test cut on a scrap piece to check depth and alignment. Use the guide bearing against the workpiece edge or a template to achieve consistent profiles. Make multiple shallow passes rather than a single deep cut for cleaner results and reduced load on the cutter.

Usage recommendations

For prolonged tool life, keep carbide inserts free of resin build-up and clean after use; sharpen or replace the cutter when signs of wear appear. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, secure workpieces firmly, and follow router manufacturer recommendations for speed and feed rates.
