Frequently Asked Question (FAQs)
1. What is a straight bit used for?
A straight bit is used for general purpose routing, grooving, and rebating. It cuts precise flat-bottomed channels and works well on wood, MDF, plywood, and abrasive materials, making it one of the most common router bits used in woodworking across Australia.
2. What does TCT mean on a router bit?
TCT stands for Tungsten Carbide Tipped. The cutting edges are made from carbide, which is much harder and more durable than standard steel. This gives the bit a longer life, especially when routing abrasive type materials like MDF or particleboard.
