Yes, as long as your CNC spindle or router is equipped with a 1/4-inch collet and supports the required feed and speed settings.
The cutter provides a maximum depth of 9.5mm.
No, this bit is designed specifically for woodworking and compatible plastics like PVC or acrylic. It should not be used on metal.
Yes, the TCT tips are excellent for cutting abrasive materials like MDF and chipboard.
If you notice increased resistance, excessive burning on the wood surface, or a fuzzy edge finish, it is time to sharpen or replace the bit.
Reduce the feed rate or perform the cut in two shallower passes to prevent heat buildup.
Ensure the bit is tightened securely in the collet and check for any debris inside the collet housing.
Clean the shank and collet with a light solvent to remove resin, and ensure the router has fully cooled before attempting removal.
To ensure safety and performance, verify that your router collet is securely tightened and free of debris before inserting the 1/4-inch shank. Always ensure the bit is seated deeply enough into the collet while maintaining at least 1-2mm of clearance from the collet floor. When not in use, store the bit in a protective case to prevent the tungsten carbide tips from chipping against other metal tools. Keep the flutes clean by removing resin or pitch buildup with a standard router bit cleaner to maintain cutting efficiency.
