I am looking to mortise doors for mortise dead locks 2 1/2" deep and 3" long. Need a fast reliable way to do this repeative job rather than drilling a serious of 3/4" holes and cleaning them out with a chisle.

Router Bit for Mortising
Our Expert
I suggest that you use the Amana Tool Stagger Tooth Plunge Cutting bit no.51313. Used along with a heavy duty plunge router this bit will quickly cut to the depth that you need. The stagger tooth design combines the speed and chip clearance of a single-flute bit with the finish of a double-flute bit.
