Description
3-Flute Solid Carbide Finishing Router Bit
Solid carbide 3-flute finishing router bit featuring special tool geometry designed to produce superior surface finish in thermoplastics. Polished flutes and polished clearance angles ensure excellent chip removal while delivering an exceptionally smooth, high-quality finish.
Engineered for machining thermoplastics where clarity and edge finish are critical, this tool is capable of producing a glass-like surface finish in materials such as acrylic and polycarbonate when proper machining parameters are followed.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Special geometry designed for superior surface finish
- Polished flutes for improved chip evacuation
- Polished clearance angles for reduced friction and heat
- Produces exceptionally smooth, near glass-clear edges
- Consistent performance in thermoplastic machining
Recommended Applications:
- PMMA (Acrylic / Acrylic glass)
- PC (Polycarbonate)
- PE (Polyethylene)
- PP (Polypropylene)
- PS (Polystyrene)
- ABS
- PVC
RH rotation.
Near glass-clear finish can be achieved by following the recommended two-pass machining parameters below:
Recommended Machining Parameters:
1st Pass – Precut (Roughing)
- Conventional cut
- 18,000–24,000 RPM
- 6–10 m/min feed rate
2nd Pass – Finish Cut (Return to Start Point)
- Climb cut
- 18,000–24,000 RPM
- 0.3–0.8 m/min feed rate
- (.004″–.012″ material removal)
Ideal for CNC routers machining thermoplastics where exceptional surface finish and edge clarity are required.
