CMT Dovetail Bit, 1/2-Inch Diameter, Carbide Tipped Z2 1/4-Inch Shank (818.130.11)

The beautifully crafted dovetail joint is a classic that appeals to both professionals and novices alike. Admired for its attractiveness in exposed joint projects, the dovetail is remarkably strong and functional. CMT Dovetail bits are designed to fit all popular jigs including Leigh, Keller, JoinTECH and Omnijig systems. Check the overall length of the bit before placing an order to be sure you get the size you need - CMT makes bits specifically to fit on jigs and routers that require a longer shank length. Note: Pre-cut your dovetails with a straight bit to reduce bit breakage. Use a diameter slightly less than the small diameter at the neck of the dovetail bit. This will also improve chip removal and safety.
