Warning: Make sure the router bit is properly fastened and tightened in the router’s collet and the bit can rotate freely without any obstructions.
Instructions: Slowly dial up the RPMs on your router to the recommended maximum. Then, dial back if needed to find the “sweet spot”. The sweet spot is the speed at which the least resonant vibration is present. If the sweet spot cannot be achieved within 5,000 RPMs of the max, check the collet for residue or other debris and start over.

Best used for: Smooth contour milling & carving.
- Cutting Diameter: 1/8"
- Cutting Length: 1/2"
- Shank Diameter: 1/4"
- Overall Length: 2"
- Flutes: 2
The ball nose end mills' rounded tip is designed to reduce tool markings on work pieces of intricate tool paths and varying depths. Larger bits will produce the smoothest results while smaller bits will produce the finest detail.
Pros: Produces smooth contours on intricate projects.
Cons: Not intended for plunging or dadoing.
(Choose a standard spiral bit for general milling, boring and finishing.)
For use in CNC milling and carving machines.
