Cutting mortises for hinges and locks can be challenging; the mortise depth must be accurate for smooth operation and the edges must be sharp for a clean, professional installation. These mortise bits make hardware installation a snap. The large gullet between the two flutes clears chips away quickly and the cutter geometry creates a crisp outline for a perfect fit., #45500, diameter (D) 1/2, cutting Height (B) 3/4, shank (D) 1/4, overall length (L) 2, flutes 2, 45500 carbide Tipped Mortising 1/2 dia x 3/4 x 1/4 inch Shank
From the Manufacturer
Since 1972, Amana Tool has been producing router bits and has become the global leader in its field. In fact, the company was the first manufacturer to produce router bits according to the Holz BG German standard for safety and quality. This standard contains rules that determine the structure and quality of the tool's material in order to create the safest environment for the user. From its beginning, Amana Tool has always used the highest quality materials, and its tools are produced using unique technologies, a majority of which were developed and built by the company's engineers following decades of testing and experience. For example, Amana Tool uses carbon alloy steel for its router bits that contains vanadium particles. This improves the structural integrity of the steel and prevents corrosion and defects in the internal structure of the material that can lead to cracks and breaks. High-tech machinery processes the carbon alloy steel to manufacture the router bodies in a single clamping. This yields router bits with superior balance, centricity, precision and symmetry. For cutting shallow mortises for hinges and locksets, use this bit. Its cutting geometry is calculated to produce an exceptionally clean cut with crisp edges. A proper mortising bit (such as #45500) should have a large gullet between the two flutes. This allows greater chip clearance and removal.
