TREND Rota-Tip straight 12.7mm diameter | RT/11MX1/2TC

Trend RT/11MX1/2TC Rota-Tip straight router cutter, 12.7mm diameter (1/2" shank)

Trend RT/11MX1/2TC is a Rota-Tip straight router cutter designed for clean plunge cutting and efficient on-site or workshop routing. With a 12.7mm (1/2") cutting diameter and a 1/2" shank, it’s a practical choice for users who want reliable, repeatable results in production-style applications.

The RT/11MX1/2TC uses solid carbide replaceable blades so the cutter body can stay set in the router when blades are changed, helping reduce downtime and maintain your set-up. It is also ideally suited for use with Trend Combi worktop jigs.

Key Features

• Replaceable solid carbide blades: Swap blades without replacing the whole cutter, helping keep running costs down compared with conventional brazed tip tooling.
• Cutter body stays in place: Blade changes can be carried out with the tool body left set, reducing reset time and downtime.
• Indexable cutting edges: Straight cutters feature blades with two or four cutting edges, allowing rotation and locking in identical positions for consistent results.
• 180° blade rotation: The single blade can be rotated to provide extended service life from each blade edge.
• 1/2" shank format: Suitable for routers that accept 1/2" shank cutters, commonly used in production applications.
• Plunge cutting capability: Suitable for plunge routing where controlled entry is required.
• Worktop jig suitability: Ideally suited for Trend Combi worktop jig applications.
