Cutting height (CH) defines how deep a single pass can be made with straight plunge router bits, impacting the efficiency and suitability for certain materials and project depths. The best cutting height is one that matches or slightly exceeds the material thickness you intend to cut, while keeping overall tool length minimal to reduce vibration. For instance, the Amana Tool 45441 offers a 2" cutting height for deep grooves, while the Amana Tool 45408-5 has a 3/4" CH suitable for thinner materials. With multiple options across the product range, you can select the best fit for your workpiece thickness.
