CNC Router Bit Low Helix Down Cut Long Reach 1/4" X 13/16" - YONICO 32010-SC

This long reach router bit is best for achieving smooth finish on hard plastics.

• Cutting Diameter: 1/4"
• Cutting Height: 1"
• Shank Diameter: 1/4"
• Overall Length: 3"
• Flutes: 2

Low Helix bits perform a more lateral movement with less upward or downward motion resulting in a smoother finish on single layer materials. These bits are a better choice for hard plastics such as acrylic and phenolic.

Down cut endmills shear in a downward direction causing the uppermost layer of the material to be pressed down against the material just below it. This motion leaves a perfectly clean top surface edge. A concentration of wood chips in the work path will occur. Hose away excess wood chips to prevent bit breakage.

Pros: Produces smooth finishes on hard plastics,
Cons: Low helix bits require a slower feed rate than "high helix" router bits.

For use in CNC milling and carving machines.
