-
Optimized for plastic laminates — Specifically shaped to minimize chipping and tear-out at the edge, giving you a clean, professional edge finish.
-
Compact, purpose-built geometry — Overall diameter 9/16", cutting length 13/32", and overall length 2" provide a balanced cut that’s easy to control in tight spaces.

Practical tips for best results
- Prepare your workpiece with a backer board and, if possible, tape the laminate edge to reduce tear-out.
- Use steady, conventional feed direction to minimize chipping; clamp firmly and keep cuts shallow if you’re approaching a delicate edge.
- Close the gap between workpiece and bit with a single pass if possible, or make multiple light passes rather than a heavy single cut.
- Keep the router’s speed appropriate for laminate work and maintain a consistent feed rate to ensure a uniform edge finish.
