ROUTER BIT STRAIGHT 5MM

Cutting Diameter: 5mm
Classification: Standard (Yellow)

The Single-Flute Straight Router Bit is the specialist tool for high-speed material removal, prioritizing efficient
chip clearance and rapid feed rates.

Featuring a single, precision-ground cutting edge, this design maximizes the flute space, allowing for the quick and
effective evacuation of chips, which is particularly crucial when cutting deeper grooves or working with softer
materials like softwoods, plastics, or aluminium that can clog multi-flute bits. This single-flute configuration
excels in CNC machining and high-production routing where speed is paramount

While it may leave a slightly rougher finish than a two-flute bit, its ability to maintain a high feed rate without
overheating or bogging down the router makes it the ideal metric choice for fast grooving, dado cutting, and general
straight-line slotting in wood and engineered composites.

Application:

• Router bits are for use with router machines only.
• Be sure that at least 3/4 of the shaft length is inserted into the router collet.
• Do not ‘bottom-out’ the bit in the collet. The shank should be 1/8′ from the bottom of the collet.
• Route in two or more passes when large amounts of stock must be removed.
