Nut Router Bit – T.C.T. Carbide | D3 mm | Lc12 mm | Z1
Shank router bit made of T.C.T. (Tungsten Carbide Tipped) carbide, with a single cutting edge (Z1), designed for making narrow grooves, hardware recesses, and fine details in solid wood and derived panels. Available with shank diameters of Ø6 mm or Ø8 mm – select the variant from the menu.

✨ TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES:
- Z1 Cutting Edge – Fast Chip Evacuation: a single active knife ensures large gaps for rapid material removal from the groove, reducing the risk of overheating at great depths.
- T.C.T. Carbide – Maximum Versatility: the carbide withstands both solid wood (soft and hard) and derived panels (MDF, particleboard, plywood), without the rapid wear typical of high-speed steel.
- Precision for Fine Details: the 3 mm diameter allows for making narrow grooves, hardware recesses, drawer bottoms, and other precision details.
- Available in Two Shank Variants: Ø6 mm and Ø8 mm for compatibility with standard collets of most routers and CNC machines.
⚠️ Important recommendation: due to the small diameter/depth ratio (3 mm D / 12 mm Lc), make deep grooves in successive passes of 3–4 mm with moderate feed rate. This prevents the router bit body from breaking under lateral pressure and ensures an impeccable finish.
⚠️ USAGE LIMITATIONS:
- Do not force the feed rate: at D3 mm, excessive lateral pressure can break the router bit body – respect successive passes of a maximum of 3–4 mm depth per pass.
- Carbide on soft wood: requires constant feed rate – prolonged rotation on resinous woods (fir, spruce) can cause localized burns due to friction.
- Not suitable for: large diameter cuts, splitting, or operations with intense lateral pressure.
📊 COMPATIBILITY GRADE BY MATERIAL TYPE (T.C.T. CARBIDE)
MDF / Particleboard / HDF / Plywood 100%
Optimal: resists the abrasive wear of synthetic binder, clean and precise groove.
Hardwood (Beech, Oak, Ash) 100%
Excellent: carbide resists on dense woods, perfectly flat groove bottom.
Softwood (Fir, Spruce, Pine) 80%
Good: works, but requires constant feed rate to avoid friction burns.
Composite & Exotic Materials 100%
Maximum: the recommended choice for demanding materials.
🦺 SAFETY MEASURES IN USE:
- Mandatory protective equipment: safety glasses (high-speed projected chips), mask or respiratory filter (fine MDF/wood dust), and earmuffs.
- Successive passes: do not attempt to achieve the full depth of 12 mm in a single pass – you risk breaking the router bit and projecting shards.
- Check collet grip: ensure the router bit shank is fully inserted and tightened correctly in the collet before starting – a loosely held router bit vibrates and can come out of the collet during operation.
- Maintain a constant feed rate and do not stop the rotating router bit at the same point.
- Beware of hands and fingers: for shank router bits, the distance to the cutting area is shorter than for bore router bits – use guides and work piece clamping devices.
