Ultra-Shear Shallow Pattern Router Bits

Whether you're trying to clean up a ragged surface or your dado wasn't quite deep enough, Ultra-Shear Hybrid Shallow Pattern Bits machine the bottom of a dado without affecting the width. Just ride the bearing against the sides with the depth of cut set where you need it. You'll get a smooth bottom surface that will enhance your exposed joinery. With depth of cut starting at just 3/16" and a close fit between the bearing and the cutter, you can clean up even the shallowest of dadoes.

You can face a similar problem with holes from a Forstner bit. The center spur cuts much deeper than the rest of the bit. You can eliminate the unsightly center spur mark with these Shallow Pattern Bits. Just ride the bearing around the perimeter, cutting deeper, but never changing the diameter.

These bits also excel at hinge mortising and other template routing chores. Unlike most of the pattern bits on the market, your template doesn't have to be extra thick to give you the shallow depth of cut you need for standard hinges.
