The Trend 3/86CX1/2TC is an extra-long two-flute router cutter specifically engineered for routing through hollow honey-comb worktop boards. Ideal for professional joiners and cabinet makers, this specialized bit features tungsten carbide tips for enhanced durability and clean, consistent cuts. While it offers exceptional precision for deep routing, users must exercise caution as it requires a professional-grade router with an 80mm deep plunge capacity and a secure one-piece multi-slit collet for safe operation.

While it can cut wood, it is a specialized tool for hollow structures. For solid hardwood, consider using standard straight router bits from the Trend professional range.
Verify the router collet is clean and securely tightened, and ensure the router plunge capacity is adequate for the 75mm length.
Check the sharpness of the tungsten carbide tips; if dull, the bit may need professional regrinding or replacement.
Ensure you are using a one-piece multi-slit collet and that the shank is free of any oil or debris before insertion.
To ensure safety, this router bit must be used exclusively in professional-grade routers that feature an 80mm deep plunge capacity. Proper setup involves inserting the shank into a high-quality, one-piece multi-slit collet, ensuring the bit is pulled back far enough to be secure while allowing for the necessary depth of cut.
Care instructions include keeping the tungsten carbide tips clean from resin buildup using a specialized router bit cleaner. Store the bit in its original packaging or a protective rack to prevent edge chipping when not in use. Periodically inspect the shank for signs of wear or scoring.
