Description
Ballnose Upcut Router Bit – Single Flute Solid Carbide For Acrylic
Single flute solid carbide ballnose upcut router bit designed for contouring, carving, and finishing acrylic and similar thermoplastics. The single flute geometry provides efficient chip evacuation and reduced heat buildup, helping prevent melting and ensuring a smooth, consistent surface finish.
The ballnose profile produces a clean concave radius and detailed contours, making this tool well suited for decorative machining, edge finishing, and surface profiling in acrylic. Also suitable for light surfacing and finishing passes where clarity and edge quality are important.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Single flute design for optimal chip evacuation in acrylic
- Reduces heat buildup and material melting
- Ballnose geometry for smooth contours and radius cuts
- Produces clean, consistent surface finish
- Suitable for roughing, finishing, and light drilling
Recommended Applications:
- Acrylic (PMMA)
- Acrylic signage and display components
- Contouring and profiling
- Radius and detail work
- Light drilling operations
Recommended Machining Parameters:
Precut (Roughing) – Conventional Cut
- 16,000–24,000 RPM
- 2–6 m/min feed rate
Finish Cut – Climb Cut
- 16,000–24,000 RPM
- 0.3–0.6 m/min feed rate
- (.005″–.010″ material removal)
Drilling:
- 18,000–24,000 RPM
- 0.5–1.0 m/min feed rate
Ideal for CNC routers machining acrylic where smooth contouring, clean edges, and consistent finish quality are required.
