Dovetail Bits

CNC Dovetail Router Bits are precision-engineered cutting tools designed to create strong, interlocking dovetail joints commonly used in drawer construction, cabinetry, and fine woodworking. These bits are optimized for use with CNC routers, enabling high-speed, repeatable cutting of dovetail profiles with unmatched accuracy and consistency. Known for their mechanical strength and aesthetic appeal, dovetail joints cut with CNC bits provide both functional durability and a professional finish.

Key Features & Benefits of Dovetails:

Perfectly Fitted Joints:

CNC Dovetail Bits are crafted to cut precise male and female dovetail profiles that lock together tightly, ensuring a secure mechanical joint without the need for nails or screws.

Smooth Cutting Performance:

Designed with sharpened carbide cutting edges, these bits deliver clean, chip-free cuts, minimizing tear-out and reducing post-processing cleanup.

Durable Carbide Construction:

Made from solid carbide or carbide-tipped high-speed steel, these bits maintain edge sharpness and resist wear, even in demanding production environments.

Variety of Angles & Sizes:

Available in a range of dovetail angles (commonly 7°, 8°, 9°, 14°, etc.) and cutting diameters to match different joinery needs and material thicknesses.

Ideal for CNC Machining:

CNC dovetail bits are optimized for use on CNC routers, providing high-speed, precision cutting for batch production or custom woodworking jobs.

Applications of Dovetail Bits:

• Drawer Construction: Frequently used for drawer box joinery, dovetail bits create strong, visually attractive corner joints that withstand repeated use over time.
• Cabinetry & Casework: Perfect for joining panels and sides in high-end cabinetry, where strength and a clean aesthetic are equally important.
• Fine Woodworking & Furniture Making: Dovetail joints add value and craftsmanship to heirloom-quality furniture, offering both strength and decorative appeal.
• Boxes & Trays: Used for decorative or structural joints in jewelry boxes, trays, and custom storage solutions, giving them a polished, high-end look.

CNC Dovetail Bits are designed to perform well in a wide range of materials, including:

• Hardwoods (oak, maple, cherry)
• Softwoods (pine, cedar)
• Plywood and Baltic birch
• MDF and other composites
