Key Features & Benefits
- 4-flute carbide-tipped cutter — ground with alternating tooth geometry for clean, chip-free slot walls at full depth of cut.
- Integrated ball bearing guide — the top-mounted bearing rides against the workpiece edge, controlling depth of cut and eliminating guide-fence setup on profile work.
- 4.8mm kerf — precision-ground to industrial tolerance for consistent slot width across the run, critical for biscuit and spline fits.
- 1/2″ shank arbor — heavy-duty TA-series arbor resists deflection under load, keeping the cutter true through dense hardwoods and sheet stacks.
- Pre-assembled — arbor, cutter, bearing, and shim washers supplied fitted and ready to run — no separate components to order.
- Australian-made — manufactured by Carbitool in Victoria to strict dimensional tolerances, backed by full manufacturer support.
Common Applications
Use the 4.8mm cutter for T-track grooves, biscuit slots, panel-backing rebates, drawer-bottom grooves, and spline joinery. The bearing guide lets you profile curved edges without a template, and the 1/2″ shank handles full-depth passes in hardwood without chatter. Pair with a variable-speed router set between 18,000–22,000 RPM and feed steadily from left-to-right against the workpiece edge.
