| Retired Moderator Forum King  |  Hinge mortising bit and straight bit. Hmmm.... I was just wondering if there was actually any difference between a 1/2" hinge mortising bit and a 1/2" straight bit other than the hinge bit has that space in the center. I figure they both would cut the same. Right? Just a thought that came to my mind... |

| Senior Moderator Supreme Forum King  | A 1/2" straight bit will not make a smooth cut in a mortising application. The hinge bit has cutting edges on the end and the open space is clearance for debris.
