Router bits for CNC

When producing furniture and other carpentry, you cannot do without a milling machine. Work that requires special precision is performed on computer numerical control (CNC) machines using special cutting tools. CNC router bits for wood are produced in a wide variety of types, which is due to a wide range of tasks solved through their use: from contour processing, 3D milling of furniture facades, to engraving, drilling and cutting slab materials, giving them complex geometric shapes. Each of these operations requires its own tool. The online store Stancomplect offers to buy Router bits for CNC in a wide variety.

Milling cutter material

Router bits for CNC, intended for processing workpieces made of solid natural wood and slab wood materials, are made from hard alloys:

• high-tech tool steel with the addition of:
  1. tungsten carbide;
  2. chromium;
  3. tantalum;
  4. titanium;
  5. cobalt;
  6. nickel;
• high-speed steels HSS (High Speed Steel), which are not only hard, but also resistant to high temperatures.

For better wear resistance when working with hard materials, the cutting edges of CNC wood cutters can cover:

• titanium nitride (TiN);
• aluminum-titanium nitride (TiAlN);
• diamond

Types of cutters for CNC router bits for wood

There is a huge variety of cutters for processing workpieces made of solid wood and wood-based materials. They can be divided into types according to several criteria.

According to the number of working edges, CNC router bits are:

• single-pass - they are used for processing soft wood, when high quality milling is not required, and during operation they form long chips that do not clog the cutter;
• two- and three-flush – CNC router bits for wood of this type are designed to work with more durable materials such as MDF, plywood or chipboard. Their use is accompanied by the formation of small chips in the cutting area and leads to a better surface;
• multi-start cutters with 4 or more cutting edges. Due to the operation of at least 4 blades, they allow you to obtain a surface with a higher finishing purity.

According to the tip profile, the following types router bits for CNC are distinguished:

• with a flat end;
• spherical (radial);
• conical;
• groove cutters with V-shaped tip;
• with a dovetail tip.

In addition, CNC cutters for wood can have straight or spiral knives (the latter option is the most common), and to perform certain jobs you may need cutters of a special design:

• compression - they have multi-directional cutting edges, which allows high-quality milling and cutting of laminated or veneered materials without damaging the coating, as well as contour cutting, grooving, quartering and milling recesses for fittings. Their variety is “corn” cutters;
• chipbreakers - cutters used for deep processing of wood materials at high speed;
• conical engravers used for relief processing, sampling and engraving.

Features of choosing router bits for CNC

The main criterion for choosing a cutter is the nature of the work you intend to perform with it. Thus, a dovetail cutter is suitable for tenon joints, a corn cutter is suitable for contouring, especially rounded edges, and a cone cutter - spiral or with a straight blade - will help you perform high-quality 3D relief on wood.

In addition, you need to consider:

1. Characteristics of the material being processed - the harder it is, the more cutting edges the cutter should have.
2. Shank diameter - it must match the dimensions of the machine holder so that you do not have to additionally buy an adapter.
3. The length and diameter of the cutting part - the depth and width of the cut will depend on them.

To be able to perform any processing of wooden workpieces, you must have a set of CNC wood cutters with tools of different types and sizes.
