TSC22 Straight Slot Cutter, 1/2 Inch Shank, 3mm Cut, 60mm Body, 6-Tooth Applications

Use this slot cutter when the project needs a controlled cut rather than a rough material-removal pass. It can support cabinet doors, drawer fronts, panels, trim pieces, furniture components, jigs or decorative woodworking details depending on the profile and setup.

How to Choose the Right Setup

• Confirm cut width, shank size, tooth count, bearing guide style, cutting depth, material and the groove or hardware fit required.
• Match the shank to the router collet and confirm the bearing guide or scoring blade position before cutting.
• Check the work material, including hardwood, softwood, MDF, plywood, carbon crystal panels and laminated boards.
• Make a test groove to confirm width, depth, bearing tracking and edge quality before routing finished parts.

Use and Maintenance Tips

Use a steady feed and avoid forcing narrow cutters through deep passes. Clear dust and chips often, especially when cutting panels that can heat the edge quickly.
