Key Features & Benefits
- Double ball bearing guide — two stacked bearings provide double the contact surface area against the template, significantly reducing the unit pressure on soft timber templates and preventing the bearing from cutting into or marking the template edge during production runs.
- 2-flute carbide-tipped — clean, consistent flush cut with practical feed rate capability for template copy routing.
- Extended size range — TS (short), standard, TX and TXX cut lengths suit substrates from thin laminate to thick solid timber panels.
When to Use This Bit
Choose the T 8012 BB when template routing in softer timbers where a single-bearing bit would mark or groove the template edge. The double bearing is also useful when the template will be reused many times — the reduced bearing pressure extends template life significantly. For harder template materials (aluminium, MDF, hardboard), the single-bearing R534 series is adequate.
