Wood router bit KREATOR KRT013001 26 x 8 x 55 mm straight profile

KREATOR KRT013001 wood router bit, measuring 26 x 8 x 55 mm, is a straight-profile cutting tool designed for hand and table routers. The bit is intended to produce accurate, clean cuts for grooving, slotting and trimming edges in both softwoods and hardwoods. Its dimensions make it suitable for a range of woodworking tasks from furniture components to joinery and general workshop use.

Advantages

The straight profile delivers consistent, square-sided grooves and slots with minimal tear-out when used at proper speeds and with suitable feed rates. Designed for compatibility with routers that accept the indicated shank and overall dimensions, the bit provides stable cutting performance and predictable results. Its length and cutting diameter balance depth capacity with rigidity for controlled routing on panels, boards and edges.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Cutting grooves and slots in cabinet doors and drawer bottoms
• Edge trimming and rabbeting of panels and trim pieces
• Joinery tasks such as dadoes and loose tenons
• General shaping and material removal in softwoods and hardwoods

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 26 mm
• Cutting width: 8 mm
• Overall length: 55 mm
• Straight cutting profile for square-sided grooves
• Suitable for hand and table routers that accept the matching shank size

How to use

Mount the router bit securely in the router collet, ensuring correct insertion depth and firm clamping. Set the router speed and feed rate according to the material type and bit diameter; slower feed and moderate speed are recommended for hard, dense woods and higher feed rates for softer materials. Make multiple shallow passes rather than a single deep cut to reduce strain on the bit and router, and to achieve a cleaner edge. Use appropriate clamps or a router table fence to guide the workpiece and maintain consistent cut depth and alignment.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as eye and hearing protection and a dust mask when routing. Inspect the bit before use for damage or wear, and replace it if cutting performance degrades. Keep cutting edges clean and free of resin build-up; apply light lubricant or pitch remover if necessary. For best results, match router speed and feed rate to the material and perform test cuts on scrap before working on the final piece.
