Onsrud 56-360 | 0.500" Diameter x 0.500" Shank x 1.125" LOC x 3.000" OAL 2 Flute Solid Carbide Straight Router Bit

Description

The Onsrud 56-360 is a 0.500" solid carbide straight router bit made for precise, repeatable woodworking cuts. Its 2-flute straight-cut geometry balances chip evacuation with smooth cutting action in various wood types. The 0.500" shank diameter ensures a secure, runout-minimized fit in standard collets and chucks. A length of cut (LOC) of 1.125" lets this bit handle moderate depth passes while maintaining rigidity. The 3.000" overall length provides reach for deeper profiling and plunge routing operations. Solid carbide construction delivers edge retention and wear resistance for production routing tasks. This Onsrud straight bit is suitable for cabinetry, furniture components, and fine finish routing. Precision grinding yields accurate flute geometry for improved surface finish and lower tear-out. The bit's design supports both through-cuts and clean plunge operations with minimal chip burn. Users benefit from consistent part-to-part edge quality in repetitive routing setups. The bit performs well in plywood, hardwood, and some composite materials with proper feeds and speeds. Easy mounting and secure clamping reduce vibration and extend tool life in high-speed routers. Shops appreciate the 2-flute configuration for balanced cutting forces and efficient material removal. Overall, the Onsrud 56-360 0.500" solid carbide straight router bit is a reliable tool for clean, accurate woodworking cuts.
