3/8” Compression x 1 1/4” CL x 3/8” Shank 3” Overall Solid Carbide Mortise 3/16” 2 Flute Router Bit

3/8” Compression x 1 1/4” CL x 3/8” Shank 3” Overall Solid Carbide Mortise 3/16” 2 Flute Router Bit

Unique carbide for longer lifetime in abrasive material. Designed for CNC applications requiring high feed rates and a clean finish.

Our Compression bits are made of a submicron carbide specially designed for use in cutting tools for highly abrasive machining applications and wear components.

With a 6% cobalt binder and 93 HRA hardness, grade HB-3 is well-suited for wear parts and cutting tools being used in non-ferrous, machining applications. It offers a homogenous microstructure and uniform grain distribution.

The Strength of Solid Carbide

Solid carbide router bits are known for their exceptional durability and strength. This particular 3/8” x 1 1/4” x 3/8” shank router bit is made of solid carbide, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of CNC routing. Unlike high-speed steel bits, carbide bits offer longer life and require less frequent sharpening, which means you can work more efficiently. Additionally, the solid construction allows for clean and precise cuts, making it an excellent choice for mortising.

2 Flute Design for Better Performance

The 2 flute design of this router bit enhances its performance by providing a balance between cutting speed and chip removal. As the bit slices through materials, it efficiently ejects chips, preventing build-up and allowing for smoother operation. This is particularly important when working with dense materials, as it reduces the risk of overheating and damage to the bit. For projects requiring precision and speed, this two-flute router bit is an unbeatable choice.

Compression Bit for Clean Cuts

This router bit features a compression design, which means it compresses the material fibers above and below the cut. As a result, you achieve a clean finish with minimal tear-out, especially on plywood and other composite materials. The compression effect is particularly beneficial for creating mortises and other joints, ensuring that your projects not only fit perfectly but also look professional. Because of these unique characteristics, this solid carbide router bit is a favorite among woodworkers and CNC enthusiasts alike.
