Solid Carbide Construction Outperforms Inferior Quality Competitors, Every Time!

Our compression router bits are impressive performers to start with. The solid carbide construction provides a long-lasting sharp cut, while the compression design of the flutes guarantees a clean cut on your top and bottom surfaces.. By adding bearings both above and below the cutting flutes, you can work accurately with patterns mounted either above or below the workpiece. We offer both a 1/4" and 1/2"-shank bit to best meet your application. These bits are also great for flush trim work!

We don't cut corners, so unlike inferior bits that are built with a steel shank, ours are true-solid, precision ground from one solid piece of C4 micrograin carbide. This insures perfect concentricity and a superior cut with extended tool life. We tested similar tools made on a steel shank and our true-solid construction ran circles around the competition.

Be prepared for any cut by choosing our 2-Pc set (00-852 ) including both router bits (and save)! Get the sturdy 1/2"-shank 85-940, plus the 1/4"-shank 85-250 for working with tighter radii.

Specs:

  • 85-250, Cutter Diam. 1/2" | Cutter Height 1" | Shank 1/4"
  • 85-940, Cutter Diam. 3/4" | Cutter Height 1-1/2" | Shank 1/2"

Dual Bearing Router Bits Offer These Benefits:

  • They can provide enhanced stability with the dual bearings riding on top and bottom templates. This extra support will reduce the chance of any wobbling or deviations.
  • Dual bearings are particularly beneficial for template routing giving the quick option of running with the template either above, or below the workpieces. This opens up the option for working in a router table, or freehand.
  • Top and bottom bearings allow for more versatility in creating edge profiles. They add greater flexibility in adjusting the depth and angle of cuts, leading to a broader range of design options.

These router bits are a step up from standard pattern bits. Solid carbide compression router bits leave a very clean edge in complicated grains, and the dual-bearing design allows for pattern work with the pattern mounted either above or below the work piece.

Infinity's compression router bits provide quality tear-out-free cuts at the top and bottom of the cut, and are perfect for template work in woods with complicated grains and plywood. These dual-bearing solid C4 micrograin carbide bits make that cut even better, and they'll stay sharp longer! By adding bearings both above and below the cutting flutes, you can work accurately with patterns mounted either above or below the workpiece. We offer both a 1/4" and 1/2"-shank router bit to best meet your application, as well as a money-saving two-router-bit set. 

The beauty of a dual-spiral compression router bit is the dual-flute design, with one facing up and the other facing down. These skewed cuts help support the wood fibers from both sides during the cutting process, preventing splintering and tear out.

The 85-940 is the beefiest of the two router bits. This ½” shank router bit has a ¾” diameter and a 1-½” cutter height. This router bit is able to easily cut plywood or solid wood (even cherry without burning). This is a solid router bit with great performance.

As mentioned, Cherry (prone to burning when cut) is no issue with the solid carbide compression router bits. Even when cutting across a void, the cut is clean and tearout free!

The 85-250 is the ¼” shank router bit. It has a ½” diameter cut with a 1” cutter height. It has All the features of the 85-940, but also includes the ability to follow patterns into tight corners because of it's smaller diameter.

This tricky corner was cut in two passes, both running from the outside into the corner to provide the best cut against the tricky grain. This was easily accomplished with the dual-bearing router bit by flipping the board over and raising the router  bit! That’s a clean cut into a tricky corner. Make sure your template work is flawless with our Solid Carbide Compression Router Bits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shank sizes are included in this set?

The set includes two bits: the 85-250 with a 1/4" shank and the 85-940 with a 1/2" shank, so you are covered for both compact and full-size routers. Explore more solid carbide spiral bits.

What does the compression design do?

The compression flute geometry shears chips toward the center of the cut, producing a clean surface on both the top and bottom faces of the workpiece. This makes it excellent for plywood, veneered panels, and melamine.

Why does this bit have two bearings?

Bearings are mounted both above and below the cutting flutes so you can run a template either above or below the workpiece. This dual-bearing setup adds stability and lets you work on a router table or freehand without changing bits.

Are these bits solid carbide or carbide-tipped?

They are true-solid carbide, precision ground from a single piece of C4 micrograin carbide rather than built on a steel shank. This ensures perfect concentricity, a superior cut, and extended tool life.

Can I use these bits for flush trimming?

Yes. In addition to pattern routing, these compression bits work very well for flush-trim work thanks to their dual bearings. See more flush-trim router bits.

What are the cutter dimensions of each bit?

  • 85-250: 1/2" cutter diameter, 1" cutter height, 1/4" shank
  • 85-940: 3/4" cutter diameter, 1-1/2" cutter height, 1/2" shank

Which bit should I use for tighter radii?

Use the 1/4"-shank 85-250, which has a smaller 1/2" cutter diameter for working with tighter radii. The 1/2"-shank 85-940 is the sturdier choice for larger, heavier cuts.

What is the item number for the complete set?

The 2-piece set is item 00-852 and includes both router bits together, which saves money versus buying them separately. Browse the full range of carbide router bits.

Can these bits be used on a router table?

Yes. Because the template can be mounted above or below the workpiece, these bits are well suited to router-table use as well as freehand routing, giving you flexibility for many project setups.

Who makes this router bit set?

It is made by Infinity Cutting Tools. Their true-solid construction is designed to outperform competitors built on steel shanks. Explore more spiral router bits from the same range.
