1/2" Dia, Carbide Tipped, Double Ball Bearing Template Bit, 2 Flutes, 1/4" Shank, 2 5/8" Length, WP

Dimar's template bits also known as Pattern bits or Straight Bits with Centre Ball Bearing are used in woodworking to replicate letters, shapes, or designs by means of copying an overlaid shape onto the desired material. The Ball Bearing guide will ride along with the Template, and the carbide teeth will cut into the material at the exact diameter of the bearing, hereby “copying” the design flush with the bearing’s diameter.

Template Bits can be used in handheld and table-mounted routers. When used with a handheld router, the pattern is on top of the work; with a table-mounted router, the pattern is underneath the work.

• Template bits are recommended when greater balance and a fine finish is a priority. 
• This bit was designed for high production work with maximum chip clearance for fast feed rates. 
• Cuts most hardwoods, and softwoods. 
• Use on Hand-held routers, and table-mounted portable routers.
