This AB Tools TCT Dovetail Router Bit is designed for woodworkers and professionals needing to create precise through or lapped dovetails and dovetail housing. Its key benefit is the Tungsten Carbide Tip (TCT) construction, ensuring durability and sharp cuts for clean results on various wood types. A potential caveat is that its 1/4" shank may limit its use in routers not compatible with this size.

This bit is suitable for chip wood, MDF board, hardwood, and softwood, providing smooth and accurate cuts.
TCT stands for Tungsten Carbide Tip. This means the cutting edges are made of a very hard, durable material that stays sharp longer than standard steel bits.
It is designed to create through or lapped dovetails and dovetail housing, commonly used for joinery in woodworking projects.
The shank size is 1/4 inch (6.35mm).
After use, clean the bit with a soft brush or a cloth lightly dampened with a mild solvent to remove wood dust and debris. Ensure it is dry before storing.
The cutting depth is 13mm.
While primarily designed for dovetails, its cutting profile can be adapted for certain types of box joints, depending on the desired joint style.
Ensure the bit is sharp and not dull. Check that the feed rate is appropriate for the material being cut and that the router speed is set correctly. Verify the bit is securely installed and not wobbling.
Confirm that your router uses a 1/4" collet. If it does, ensure no debris is in the collet and that the shank of the bit is clean and undamaged.
Check that the bit is fully seated in the collet and that the collet is properly tightened. Ensure the router motor is functioning correctly and that the bit is not bent or damaged.
Setup: Ensure the router is unplugged before installing the bit. Insert the 1/4" shank fully into the router's collet and tighten securely. Always double-check that the bit is centered and firmly seated.
Compatibility: This bit is compatible with any router that accepts a 1/4" shank. Always refer to your router's manual for collet compatibility.
Care: After use, clean the bit to remove wood dust and debris, using a soft brush or a cloth lightly dampened with a mild solvent if necessary. Store the bit in a protective case or bit organizer to prevent damage to the cutting edges. Avoid exposure to moisture to prevent rust on the metal components.
