TREND Shear cutter | 53/83X1/2TC

Trend 53/83X1/2TC Shear Cutter (12.7mm x 50mm) – 1/2" Shank, TCT Down-Cut

Trend 53/83X1/2TC shear cutter is a tungsten carbide tipped (TCT) router cutter designed for fast, clean trimming and grooving in sheet materials. The down-cut shear helps produce a finer top-edge finish, making it a practical choice for joiners, cabinet makers and site carpenters working with laminates and veneers.

With its two-flute design and positive shear angle, the 53/83X1/2TC supports efficient chip removal while reducing the risk of breakout on the top edge of laminated boards.
