Is it a dowel hole cutter?
I've just seen it as part of an auction and I have no idea.
Sorry the picture is really small - I can't zoom in any better because of the auction site and the way they do things.
I should add I checked out Carbitool's site but couldn't find the bit in their listing, nor the other regular place I'd buy bits from
I also think it's a mortising bit. Really hard to see, but it looks like it has a bearing. Definitely not a plug cutter. Tried to blow it up, but it just pixilated.
It's interesting. I got a maybe slightly better picture, but that was trying to zoom i to the maximum Chrome would let me. It's still not great and I can't get any numbers or anything, but it does look like it only has two cutters unlike the plug cutters above.
I think it is definitely a mortising bit. You use it to cut hinge mortises (shallow). Since it says "Router Bit" on the package it is not a plug cutter. A router to cut plugs would burn the plug up before you could extract it from the hole.
It is a hinge mortising bit used with a baseplate bushing, I have
used them hundreds of times mortising door butts.
