Amana Tool Laminate Trim Bit For Flush And Bevel Work

Amana Tool laminate trim bit is a router bit designed to cut, trim, and bevel laminates with one bit, so you handle edge finishing without switching tools between passes. The bit is classified as a router bit in the trim bits category, which positions it for laminate edge work where a controlled, guided cut is important. A 2-flute cutting design shapes the laminate with two cutting edges, giving a consistent cutting pattern as the bit rotates. The 11/32 inch diameter cutting profile defines the contact width on the laminate edge, which affects how the bit engages decorative surfaces along countertops, panels, or similar workpieces.

Key Laminate Trimming Details That Support Clean Edges

• The bit can cut, trim, and bevel laminates with one bit, so one tooling setup can handle multiple edge profiles on the same job edge.
• Changing the depth-of-cut setting shifts the bit from flush trimming to bevel trimming, so installers can control whether laminate ends even with the substrate or finishes on a 22.5 degree bevel.
• The bit must be used with an edge or bearing guide or fence, which keeps the cutting path supported along the laminate edge and helps maintain a consistent finish along straight or curved runs.
• The bit is designed specifically for use in laminate trimmers, so it aligns with compact trim routers that are commonly used to work laminate overhangs around tops and panels.
• The 2-flute configuration manages cutting with two edges, which balances cutting forces around the bit and supports a smooth rotation path during laminate edging.

Laminate Trim Bit Dimensions For Setup And Fit

The cutting diameter (D) of 11/32 inch defines how wide the bit engages the laminate edge during trimming and beveling passes. A cutting height (B) of 1/2 inch controls the vertical cutting span, which is important when trimming typical laminate overhangs beyond the substrate edge. The bit uses a 1/4 inch shank (d), so it fits router and laminate trimmer collets that accept this shank size in standard edge-trimming tools. An overall length (L) of 1-5/8 inch describes the full bit length from shank end to tip, which matters when considering how far the bit extends from the tool collet during trimming operations.

Using This Combination Bevel And Flush Laminate Trim Bit

Where This Laminate Trim Router Bit Is Applied

This combination bevel/flush laminate trim bit is designed specifically for use in laminate trimmers, so it fits common edge-trimming workflows on laminate-clad panels and tops. The ability to cut, trim, and bevel laminates with one bit means the same tool handles sizing laminate overhangs and cutting decorative bevels on the edge. When used with an edge or bearing guide or fence, the bit follows the guide surface as it trims, which helps keep cuts tracking along the substrate or guide bearing. The 11/32 inch diameter and 1/2 inch cutting height make the bit suitable for laminate layers that project past the substrate, so edges can be brought flush or set to a bevel profile in the same setup.

Why These Trim Bit Details Matter For Repeatable Results

The option to change the depth-of-cut setting to shift from flush- to bevel-trimming lets installers adjust the bit position rather than changing bits, which supports consistent edge appearance across multiple panels. A 22.5 degree angle (a) defines the bevel geometry, so each bevel-cut edge follows the same shallow bevel profile when the bit is set for bevel trimming. The shank diameter of 1/4 inch aligns with laminate trimmers built for this shank size, which supports stable clamping of the bit in the tool collet. The two-flute design distributes cutting across two cutting edges, which helps manage the balance of cutting action around the laminate edge. Dimensions B1 of 7.5 mm (19/64 inch) and B2 of 5.2 mm (13/64 inch) describe specific cutting height segments on the bit, which is useful when aligning the bit relative to the laminate layer for precise control of how much material is trimmed in each pass.
