Frequently Asked Questions

Will these 1/4" shank bits fit my router?

Yes, as long as your router accepts a 1/4" collet, which nearly all compact and full-size routers do. These bits have a 1/4" shank. Browse more straight router bits if you also need 1/2" shank options.

What does the plunge point do?

The plunge point lets you lower the bit straight down into the middle of a workpiece to start an interior cut. It cuts a smooth entry point and leaves a flat bottom, which standard straight bits cannot do cleanly.

What cutter diameters are available?

These plunge-point straight bits are offered in 3/8" and 1/2" cutter diameters, both with a 1" cutter height. See the related grooving bits for additional widths.

What is downshear cutting geometry?

Downshear geometry angles the cutting edges so chips are pushed downward. This shearing action produces ultra-smooth cuts on the top face of your stock and helps reduce tear-out on veneered or plywood surfaces.

What projects are these bits good for?

They excel at dadoes, rabbets, mortises, stopped grooves, and pattern cuts — virtually any job needing a straight edge. The plunge point makes them especially handy for cuts that start in the middle of a panel.

Do they leave a flat-bottomed cut?

Yes. These straight bits cut a smooth entry point and leave a flat bottom, giving you clean, accurate dadoes and grooves for tight-fitting joinery.

Can I use these in a router table?

Absolutely. They work well both handheld and table-mounted. For grooving and dado work in a table, pair them with our router table accessories for added control.

What is the overall length of these bits?

Overall length ranges from 2-1/4" to 2-1/2" depending on the cutter diameter you choose, all with a 1" cutter height.

Who makes these router bits?

They are manufactured by Infinity Cutting Tools as part of our premium-quality straight bit line. Explore the complete selection of carbide router bits.

How do I get the smoothest possible plunge cut?

Plunge slowly and take the cut in shallow passes rather than dropping to full depth at once. The downshear geometry and flat-bottom design do the rest, leaving a clean entry and a level base.
