Cutting Diameter: 4mm 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.
4 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.
