Overview
Mini insert carbide spoilboard surfacing & rabbeting with scorer, great for cutting tight corners. Features unique 2+2 insert knife design that contains two cutting flutes and two up-shear scorers, which provide a smoother finish at the bottom of the cut than traditional two-knife style router bits. Great for surface planing.
Also suitable for router sled machines. Caution make sure that your router sled is fully stable and squared.
Perfect for:
- Resurfacing spoilboards using CNC
- 2+2 spoilboards contain two bottom scorers for better performance, finer surface finish, and better clearance for 90º corners.
- Planing large glued up panels using CNC
- Surfacing and finishing wood using timber slab machines
- Rabbeting or slotting
Designed for planing & rabbeting the following materials:
- MDF
- Fiberboard
- HDF/LDF
- Balsa Core*
- Epoxy (Epoxy Resins)*
- High-Density-Urethane (HDU Board)*
- Plastic/Acrylic**
- Plywood/Chipboard*
- Hardwood/Softwood*
- Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE)*
*For optimal results and maximum insert life, replace inserts with optional general purpose knives #AMA-12 and #RCK-70 (sold separately).
**Use lower CNC spindle RPM and adjusted feed rate to prevent Melting and adhesion of the acrylic material to the tool.
Featuring:
- 2+2 design
- 4-sided solid carbide insert knives
- Exclusive carbide grade for highest quality of cut
- Maximum cutting efficiency
- Faster material removal process
These industrial router bits feature solid carbide insert knives with four cutting edges that allow users to rotate the knife when one side becomes dull providing the highest-quality finish available on woodworking tools.
Recommendations: For surfacing solid woods it is recommended to remove both bottom scorers.
Note: This tool is not designed to plunge! You must ramp down to a depth of 1/4" deep over a 20" run. Use the max RPM allowed and start with the feed rate (from the speed and feed chart), and go up until you get waves, then back down to a smooth cut/finish.
Warning: Proper torques rating to tighten down screws is 2-3Nm Torques.
