Ultra-Shear 1/2" Shank, 2-Flute Solid Carbide Spiral Router Bits
The Ultra-Shear 1/2" Shank Solid Carbide Router Bit includes four cut lengths in 1/2" diameter—1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2", and 2"—along with three reduced cutting diameter sizes—1/4", 5/16", and 3/8"—each available in 1-1/4" cut length. These dimensions are offered in both Up-Cut & Down-Cut versions.
Optimized for Various Routing Systems
Whether using a trammel, edge guide, router table, horizontal router system, or CNC machine, Ultra-Shear router bits provide exceptional performance. They deliver clean cuts and long-lasting tool life. These American-made bits are crafted with precision, using top-quality materials and state-of-the-art CNC grinding equipment.
Reduced Cutting Diameter Bits
The reduced cutting diameter bits are perfect for clean cuts at smaller diameters. Ideal for dadoes, grooves, rabbets, and CNC machining, they provide excellent surface finishes on both sides and bottom of cuts.
Specialized Bits for Mortise and Tenon Work
For mortise and tenon work, especially through-mortise joints, the 1-1/2" and 2" cut length 1/2" diameter bits are indispensable. These bits offer generous cut lengths and are held to strict tolerances, making them perfect for CNC machines and horizontal routers.
Choosing Between Up-Cut and Down-Cut Bits
Up-Cut Bits: Ideal for dadoes, slotting, and full-edge cutting in solid wood, Up-Cut bits effectively pull chips out of the kerf.
Down-Cut Bits: Perfect for rabbeting and working with cabinet-grade plywood, Down-Cut bits slice down into the material, preventing surface fibers from lifting.
Made in the USA
All Ultra-Shear Solid Carbide bits are manufactured in Strongsville, Ohio facility. We use high-quality carbide blanks, ultra-fine grinding wheels, and advanced CNC grinding equipment to produce great American-made router bits.
