FS Tools' finishing compression spiral router bits are ideal for CNC routers, delivering exceptionally smooth finishing cuts and a long life. The 2-flute compression bits are suitable for plunging, and particularly excel in situations with frequent acceleration/deceleration, or multiple passes.

FS Tools XLC coating provides longer life and can be resharpened

The Extended Life Resharpenable Coating (XLC) by FS Tool is a special coating that provides significantly longer tool life through increased hardness and resistance to resin build-up, and lower friction. Further, the tool can be resharpened 2-4 times.

• 2 micron thickness
• Excellent adhesion to cutting edge
• 31 GPa hardness
  

Compression spiral design for clean cuts from face to face

With both up- and down- spiral configurations built into the bit, both faces of the material will be free from chipping, tear-out, and fuzz, while the spiral pattern produces a smooth cut surface.

FS Tool Finishing Compression Spiral Router Bits are available in multiple configurations

When selecting a bit, choose a longer upcut section for better chip clearing, better dust extraction, and longer bit life. However, the upcut section should always be 1/16 shorter than the shallowest section of the cut to get the benefits of the compression bit.

On the other hand, if movement of the part is a concern, choose an upcut length of 0.200 inches (5 millimetres) or less.

• 2+2 compression flutes
• 1/2 inch cutting diameter
• 1-1/4 inch cut length
• 9.8 millimetre upcut section
• 3 inch overall length
• 1/2 inch shank
• 30 degree helix design
• Bottom cutting capability
• Semi-polished flutes
• Submicron carbide
