TCT Router Bits
Each router bit features diamond ground, micro-grain tungsten carbide tipped blades. This tighter micro-grain structure means the blades offer long lasting hardness and superior edge retention. The body of each bit has been turned and then milled with uncompromising precision from a single piece of 4140 high tensile steel to give perfect balance for reduced vibration and therefore smoother cuts. 4140 steel has been chosen because of its toughness, high fatigue strength, and abrasion and impact resistance. The tungsten carbide tips are then brazed onto the bodies using induction to create an extremely strong joint that safely holds under the high stresses that occur when routing. The router bits are suitable for use on softwoods, hardwoods, veneers, laminates and composite materials.

Birds Mouth Bits
Birds mouth bits are used to produce 6 or 12 sided boxes, barrels, planters or any other multi-sided structure. These bits provide fast and accurate joints as only one side of the workpiece needs to be machined. The resulting notched profile accepts the mating square edge whilst providing increased surface area for glue application. Orientation of the workpiece will determine the number of sides; for 6 sided structures the exterior face of the workpiece should be face up. Conversely for 12 sided structures, the exterior face of the workpiece should be face down. The multi-sided shapes can then be planed or sanded to produce circular forms if desired. Maximum wood thickness for 6 sided structures is 20mm, and 12mm for 12 sided structures. For router table use only.

Superior Finish and Performance
The shearing angle of the cutting edges ensure they remain in constant contact with the workpiece to allow a smoother, slicing cut which eliminates tear-out and gives a mirror finish. The bits feature right hook angles which further enhances the cut due to the fast removal of chips. These bits feature an anti-kickback design which limits the feed rate of the material being cut to decrease the likelihood of a kickback, meaning each bit conforms to strict German DIN standards to ensure maximum operator safety. ©
