These MEGA 1/4" & 1/2" shank router bits are your best choice when working with patterns that mount on top of the finished product. The solid carbide construction provides a long-lasting sharp cut, while the compression design of the flutes guarantees fray-free results.

We don't cut corners, so unlike inferior bits that are built with a steel shank, ours are true-solid, precision ground from one solid piece of C4 micrograin carbide. This insures perfect concentricity and a superior cut with extended tool life. We tested similar tools made on a steel shank and our true-solid construction ran circles around the competition.

This money-saving set is excellent for creating mortises in flat panels. The open end of the bit allows for easy plunge cuts, while the top-mounted bearing keeps the cut exactly on target.

  • 85-230B: 1/4" shank, 1/2" cutter diameter and 1-1/8" cutter height
  • 85-930B: 1/2" shank, 3/4" cutter diameter and 2" cutter height

Top-mounted bearing router bits offer several benefits:

  • The bearing at the top of the bit simplifies the setup process, making it more straightforward for woodworkers, especially those who may be less experienced.
  • This Infinity router bit can be used for multiple applications, including edge profiling, rabbeting, and dado cutting. The top-mounted bearing allows for greater flexibility in creating different profiles and cuts by adjusting the bit height. And the top-mounted bearing ensures a consistent depth of cut, particularly important when creating joints or when uniformity is critical.
  • Top-mounted bearings are excellent for template and pattern routing. The bearing rides along the edge of the template and accurately creates an identical piece or an intricate design.
  • Top-mounted bearing router bits are ideal for flush trimming operations.

Infinity Tools compression router bits are the best choice when working with patterns that mount on top of the finished product. Whether working on a router table, or freehand, the compression design of the flutes guarantees a clean cut, while the top-mounted bearing assures a smooth copy. Perfect for plunge pattern work!

The 85-230B, 1/4"-shank router bit (1/2" cutting diameter and a 1-1/8" cutter height) is your best choice when working with patterns with tight corners and curves. And if your pattern includes cuts in the center of the panel, then this router bit will be your best friend, being perfect for plung cuts. The solid carbide construction provides a long-lasting sharp cut, while the compression design of the flutes guarantees a clean cut.

The 1/4"-shank, top-mounted bearing, pattern bit makes smooth work of matching a profile radius accurately (convex, or concave!).

Our 85-930B, 1/2"-shank compression bit (3/4" cutting diameter and a 2" cutter height) is the perfect choice for larger pattern work, or for flush trimming thicker pieces.

For creating a groove when following a pattern, both of these premium quality router bits produce a clean recess thanks to their compression flute design.

These Infinity Tools router bits are also the right match for creating clean mortises in plywood - another tricky-grained product -  or any wood! And compression bits are great for plunge router operations! Long-lasting, clean-cutting and accurate when following a guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shank sizes come in this set?

The 2-piece set includes a 1/4" shank bit (85-230B) and a 1/2" shank bit (85-930B), covering compact and full-size routers. Browse more solid carbide spiral bits.

What are the cutter dimensions?

The 85-230B has a 1/2" cutter diameter and 1-1/8" cutter height, while the 85-930B has a 3/4" cutter diameter and 2" cutter height.

Are these bits solid carbide?

Yes. They are true-solid, precision ground from one solid piece of C4 micrograin carbide — not a carbide head on a steel shank — for perfect concentricity and extended tool life.

What does the compression flute design do?

The compression design pulls chips toward the middle of the cut, guaranteeing fray-free results on both the top and bottom faces of your stock.

Where is the bearing located on these bits?

Each bit has a top-mounted bearing, which simplifies setup and keeps the cut on target. The open end of the bit also allows easy plunge cuts.

What can I use these bits for?

They're excellent for creating mortises in flat panels and also handle edge profiling, rabbeting, dado cutting, pattern routing, and flush trimming by adjusting the bit height. See more spiral router bits.

Why choose true-solid over a steel-shank bit?

True-solid carbide ensures perfect concentricity, a superior cut, and longer tool life. In testing, the true-solid construction outperformed similar tools made on a steel shank.

Can these bits plunge into the workpiece?

Yes. The open end of the bit allows easy plunge cuts, making the set well suited to starting mortises and interior cuts in flat panels.

Are top-mounted bearing bits good for beginners?

Yes. The bearing at the top of the bit simplifies the setup process, making pattern and template routing more straightforward, especially for less-experienced woodworkers.

What other router bits pair well with this set?

Pair it with our broader selection of carbide router bits and additional solid carbide spiral bits for grooving, mortising, and pattern work.
