This 45-degree lock miter router bit is listed with an 8 mm (5/16 inch) shank and bearing-guided cutter. The gallery shows several size options and a cabinet-joint example. Choose the option whose cutting dimensions match the stock thickness and joint drawing.
Listed dimensions
| Gallery label | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| 8 × 14 × 30 mm | 14 mm profile dimension, 30 mm cutting-length label |
| 8 × 16 × 40 mm | 16 mm profile dimension, 40 mm cutting-length label |
| 8 × 16 × 50 mm | 16 mm profile dimension, 50 mm cutting-length label |
The labels above are transcribed from the product gallery. Verify the exact option, bearing position, stock thickness and available clearance before machining.
Lock-miter setup
- Match the 8 mm shank to the router collet or spindle holder.
- Set the fence, cutter height and workpiece orientation from a test joint; the mating edge is different for the two pieces.
- Use secure workholding and keep the bearing or guide clear of dust and obstructions.
- Confirm the stock thickness against the selected gallery dimension rather than assuming all options are interchangeable.
Test cut and safe use
Make a test cut in matching scrap, then check the 45-degree faces, joint closure, shoulder alignment and edge breakout before cutting finished panels. Follow the router and cutter manufacturer’s speed, feed, guarding and installation instructions. Stop if the bit chatters, overheats or shows damage.
