Trend router cutter part number decode?

Apr 28, 2022 Last reply: 4 years ago 3 Replies

I've just wasted too many of whatever minutes remain to me trying to buy a C121GX1/4TC cutter for next day delivery at a reasonable cost, but being offered C121HX1/4TC and C121BX1/4TC. Is there a standard coding system that I failed to find? (If anyone from Trend is reading this can I suggest that a link to a part number decode would be a useful addition to your website).


The GX and HX seem to differ by only the depth of cut. The BX is a different diameter.

I suspect the main issue is that the GX is out of stock in most places (probably a reflection that many vendors do not actually hold stock and just drop ship product from one central supplier)

Yes, I eventually sussed that but an explanation of their p/n coding would have saved some time (I've got Covid again so maybe I was being even more slow and grumpy than usual ;-) ). I'd have preferred the smaller size (this is mostly needed for cutting hinge rebates) but it's not critical so went for the "BX" because it was available at a good price and should arrive today.

Huh! I'm still waiting for a delivery promised for 13th. April by EVRi Hermes!
