The Amana Tool 45487-3TS is a 3-flute, carbide-tipped flush trim plunge template router bit with a 1/2 in. cutting diameter, 1/2 in. cutting height, 1/4 in. shank, and a shank-mounted upper ball bearing pilot. Built for woodworking shops, cabinetmakers, and pattern fabricators, it functions as a plunge-cutting straight bit for accurate template and pattern routing of parts, joints, and internal cutouts.

During operation, the template is secured to the workpiece and the upper pilot bearing rides along the template edge while the three carbide-tipped cutting edges duplicate the profile onto the stock. Because the bearing is mounted above the cutting edges on the shank, the bit works with the template positioned on top of the workpiece in a handheld router or underneath the workpiece in a table-mounted router. Its plunge-cutting tip geometry also allows entry directly into the interior of a workpiece for enclosed pattern routing and internal cutouts.

Compared to standard two-flute flush trim bits, the 3-flute configuration provides an additional cutting edge per revolution to support clean edge finishes in hardwood and flooring medallion work. Both the upper ball bearing (47701) and the retaining collar with set screw (47724) are replaceable, allowing routine maintenance without replacing the entire bit.

Features & Benefits

• 3-Flute Cutting Design: Incorporates three cutting edges to deliver smooth, clean trimming cuts in pattern and template routing applications.
• Upper Ball Bearing Pilot: Shank-mounted pilot bearing follows templates placed on top of the workpiece for handheld routing or beneath the workpiece for table-mounted routing.
• Plunge-Cutting Geometry: Cuts vertically into the material to start internal cutouts and enclosed template patterns without a pre-drilled starter hole.
• Carbide-Tipped Cutting Edges: Provides wear resistance and edge retention when trimming hardwoods and flooring medallions.
• 1/2 in. Diameter and 1/2 in. Cutting Height: Sized for flush trimming edges, joints, and template-guided profiles up to 1/2 in. deep.
• 1/4 in. Shank Compatibility: Fits standard 1/4 in. collets on both handheld and table-mounted routers.
• Serviceable Pilot Assembly: Uses Amana Tool replacement bearing 47701 and replacement collar with set screw 47724 for straightforward bearing maintenance.
