Carbide Router Bits

About

Router bits are essential for fashioning shapes into a selection of materials through the use of a routing tool. Carbide router cutters are best used for plywood, hardwoods, softwoods, and some plastics. A router bit has a flat base and a rotating blade that is driven by a motor. They are considered an extremely versatile power tool and can either be used in a handheld router, CNC router or attached to a router table.

Up-cut bits are ideal for this as the upward direction of the flutes inhibits the build-up of debris, which can either break or bind the bit. As the flute removes chips, it can simultaneously fray the wood fibres, causing damage. You must be mindful of this when using up-cut bits and avoid implementing damage to your project. DOWN CUT ROUTER BITS A down-cut router bit is effective in forming a crisp edge around the hole that it is cutting. However, it is less effective in removing chips from the hole when compared to an up-cut bit. Therefore, down-cut bits are more commonly used for making shallow cuts rather than deep grooves. A slower feed rate is required with down-cut b
