Straight Router Bit Single Flute Metric

Cutting Diameter: 5mm
Classification: Standard (Yellow)

The Single-Flute Straight Router Bit is the specialist tool for high-speed material removal, prioritizing efficient chip clearance and rapid feed rates.

Featuring a single, precision-ground cutting edge, this design maximizes the flute space, allowing for the quick and effective evacuation of chips, which is particularly crucial when cutting deeper grooves or working with softer materials like softwoods, plastics, or aluminium that can clog multi-flute bits. This single-flute configuration excels in CNC machining and high-production routing where speed is paramount

While it may leave a slightly rougher finish than a two-flute bit, its ability to maintain a high feed rate without overheating or bogging down the router makes it the ideal metric choice for fast grooving, dado cutting, and general straight-line slotting in wood and engineered composites.

Application:

Router bits are for use with router machines only.
Be sure that at least 3/4 of the shaft length is inserted into the router collet.
Do not "bottom-out" the bit in the collet. The shank should be 1/8" from the bottom of the collet.
Route in two or more passes when large amounts of stock must be removed.

Extra Information

Use shallow passes rather than deep cuts to preserve edge life and reduce friction.
Ensure the router and bit are stable — smaller bits are more prone to deflection if forced.
Verify bit seating and collet tightness before use.

Pro Tip

Chase your groove directionally—from shallow to deeper—to maintain control and reduce breakout.
For inlays, go just deep enough to seat material, then stop and clean up the fit with a scraper or file to get a perfect match.

Features

Straight profile for flat-bottom, square-walled cuts.
5 mm cutting diameter — great for delicate channels and slotting.
Precision-ground edges reduce tear-out and ensure smooth cuts.
Rigid body design to minimize vibration in shallow cuts.
Compatibile with standard router collets — use appropriate shank size.

Benefits

Fine control: ideal for small-scale detail work and inlay routing.
Clean finish: sharp cuts with little cleanup required.
Versatile: suitable for joinery, decorative detailing, thin grooves, and trimming tasks.

Safety

Wear eye and hearing protection; dust protection advisable.
Feed against the direction of bit rotation to maintain control.
Let the router reach full speed before contacting material; stop fully before lifting out.
Inspect the bit and sharpness before use to avoid damaging the workpiece.
