2-1x6x20 TCT Straight Router Bits CNC Milling Cutters With Grooves

Product Description

Need one straight router bit that handles straight routing, channeling and edge trimming on solid wood, MDF and plywood? The 2-1x6x20 TCT straight router bit is published in two versions — with grooves and without groove. The cutting edges are tungsten carbide (TCT), the body is high speed steel, and the bit is listed for five machine families: engraving machine, electric wood milling machine, edge-banding machine, table router and hanging machine. Customization is supported and the price is quoted per order.

A shop cutting solid wood, MDF and plywood runs into the same three things: a straight bit that dulls halfway through a batch, a second bit ordered because the first one cannot plough a channel, and a machine that will not take the shank already in the tooling drawer. The 2-1x6x20 TCT straight router bit is built to remove all three.

It is a straight-flute woodworking cutting tool sold under one size code, 2-1x6x20, in two versions: with grooves and without groove. The plain version cuts a straight wall and a square shoulder; the grooved version adds channeling and shallow shaping on the same body and the same shank.

The cutting edges are tungsten carbide — TCT stands for tungsten carbide tipped — and the body is high speed steel, so the edge holds its shape while the body keeps its stiffness. The spec sheet lists three applicable board families: solid wood board, MDF and plywood board, etc.

It is listed for five machine families — engraving machine, electric wood milling machine, edge-banding machine, table router and hanging machine — and custom sizes are supported. Price is quoted per order.

Product Features

What separates this bit from a generic straight bit is the list below; every point is a line from the spec sheet, not a slogan.

• Two versions, one size code — with grooves and without groove are both published under 2-1x6x20, so a repeat order needs no new part number.
• Tungsten carbide tips — TCT cutting edges (tungsten steel) brazed on a high speed steel body, the split the spec sheet names.
• Three board families — solid wood board, MDF and plywood board are listed together, so three materials run on one bit.
• Five machine families — engraving machine, electric wood milling machine, edge-banding machine, table router and hanging machine all take the same shank.
• Straight flute geometry — the edge runs parallel to the shank for the full cutting length, so one continuous pass leaves a straight wall.
• Grooved body for channeling — the grooved version ploughs a channel and shapes a shallow profile without a second bit, which is one setup instead of two.
• Seats in a standard collet — the shank is made for a standard collet, so zero special holders are added to the tooling list.
• Custom sizes on request — non-standard sizes are supported, so a machine running an odd shank is not locked to one catalogue size.

Product Parameters

Product Advantages

Most benches buy router bits one of two ways: cheap bits replaced every few weeks, or named bits bought one at a time — this SKU is aimed at the third option, a size code you can simply reorder.

• Reorder without a new part number. Both versions carry the 2-1x6x20 code, so the buyer, the store list and the operator are all reading one line.
• Three boards, one bit. Solid wood, MDF and plywood are all listed, so you are not stocking a separate bit for each of the three materials.
• Five machines, one shank. Engraving machine, wood milling machine, edge-banding machine, table router and hanging machine — the bit moves between five machines unchanged.
• Two jobs, two versions. The grooved body ploughs channels, the plain body trims straight, so two bits cover the routing a trim station does in a week.
• Tips hold the edge, body holds the shape. Tungsten carbide at the cut and high speed steel behind it — two materials doing two jobs, which is why the bit stays sharp.
• Custom sizes mean no machine is left out. A non-standard size is quoted on request, so an odd shank does not force a new machine setup.
• Cost per cut, not cost per bit. Sharp, durable and cost effective are the three properties the spec sheet lists — the reason these bits are bought in quantity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these bits come in both grooved and non-grooved versions?

Yes. The 2-1x6x20 TCT straight router bit is supplied in two versions, with grooves and without groove, on the same body and the same shank.

What boards can these TCT straight router bits cut?

Solid wood board, MDF and plywood board. Those are the three board families on the spec sheet, listed as applicable with the usual etc. for similar panel materials.

Which machines do these bits fit?

Five machine families: engraving machine, electric wood milling machine, edge-banding machine, table router and hanging machine.

Is the cutting edge tungsten carbide or high speed steel?

Both, in two places. The cutting edge is tungsten steel — TCT means tungsten carbide tipped — and the body is high speed steel.

How is the grooved version different from the plain one?

The grooved body can plough a channel and shape a shallow profile; the plain body cuts a straight wall and a square shoulder. Same size code, different cutting geometry.

Will the bit seat in my existing collet?

Yes. The shank is made for a standard collet, so no special holder has to be added to the tooling list.

Can I order a custom size?

Yes. Customization is supported, so a non-standard size can be quoted instead of forcing your machine onto a catalogue size.

What do these bits cost?

Price is quoted per order — the listing shows “Contact us for a quote”. Send the size code 2-1x6x20, the version you need and the quantity you run per month for a firm quote.
