PROMASTERTOOL™ Template & Flush Trim Double Bearing Router Bits - 1/2" Shank

Follow your template. Repeat the shape.

Create matching curved parts and trim edges to a consistent profile with PROMASTERTOOL™ Template & Flush Trim Double Bearing Router Bits. Guide bearings at both ends of the cutting section let you work with a template above or below the workpiece, depending on your setup.

Use them for shaped shelf ends, furniture components, cabinet patterns and other projects where several parts need to follow the same outline. The project photo above illustrates a typical template-routing result.

Two bearings for flexible template placement

The tip-side bearing follows a guide on one face of the workpiece; the shank-side bearing supports template placement on the opposite face. Set the cutting height so the selected bearing contacts the template or reference edge while the cutting edges engage the wood.

This gives you more options when arranging the template and planning a cut around changes in grain direction. Both bearings have the same nominal diameter as the cutter, so the trimmed edge follows the guide profile.

Choose the cutting length for your project

All three sizes have a 1/2″ shank and a 3/4″ cutting diameter. Choose the shortest cutting length that accommodates your workpiece and bearing position. Check the complete setup, including template thickness and router adjustment range, before selecting a size.

Shared dimensions: cutting diameter 3/4″ (19.05 mm); shank diameter 1/2″ (12.7 mm). Metric values are rounded conversions of the inch dimensions.

Prepare the guide for a cleaner result

• Start with an accurate template. Its edge determines the finished outline.
• Rough-cut close to the profile first. Leave a small, even trimming allowance rather than asking the bit to remove excessive material.
• Secure the template and workpiece. Confirm that the chosen bearing will remain supported throughout the cut.
• Make a trial cut. Check the setup on scrap of the same material and follow your router’s instructions for bit installation, speed and feed direction.

For routing solid wood, MDF, plywood and particle board with a suitable router fitted with a 1/2″ collet.
