Cutting height (CH) refers to the length of the cutting edge and determines how deep a single pass can go. It's important to match cutting height to your material thickness and desired cut depth. Shorter heights offer better control and stability, while longer heights are needed for deeper grooves or mortises. Router bits like the Amana Tool 45634-K with a 27/64" CH are suited for shallow sign lettering, whereas the Amana Tool 45728-CNC with a 1-1/4" CH allows for deeper, dramatic V-cuts. Having a range of cutting heights available helps you achieve the perfect finish for both surface detail and deep joinery.
