Flattening Router Bits | Surfacing Router Bits

To obtain a smooth surface of a tabletop or slab of wood without nicks, roughness or chips, flattening router bits is used to level the plane. It is made from carbon steels, hard steel and mineral-ceramic alloys, refers to two-way shaped tools and is used in CNC machines intended for the manufacture of furniture facades and manual milling machines. If you need a surfacing router bits, it is easiest and most profitable to buy it in the online store of the Stancomplect company.

Area of application of the flattening router bits

Router bits designed for leveling surfaces made of natural wood, soft and hard, as well as slab wood materials such as chipboard or MDF, are used in the manufacture of:

• various furniture elements (facades, countertops, furniture panels and others);
• slabs – slabs with untreated ends made of solid natural wood 50-150 mm thick, obtained by longitudinal or transverse section of the lower part of the trunk, where it has the greatest thickness. To make slabs, durable and hard wood species with an interesting cut texture are chosen. The processed surface of such massive slabs with a unique pattern created by nature looks presentable, impressive and beautiful, which makes it possible to make countertops, window sills, stair steps, bar counters, bed headboards, coffee and coffee tables, as well as various decorative elements for premium interiors from slabs -class. This use of the tool gave it the name slab flattening router bits;
• wooden cutlery (ware in the form of a dish divided inside into several cells) and other similar products where it is necessary to finish the surface of the bottom and walls of shallow recesses.

In addition to leveling planes of different areas, such bits are used to lower the surface when creating a carved pattern on a furniture facade, making shaped wood blanks or making technological recesses - milling grooves for connecting blanks and installing hinges or removing quarters.

Surfacing router bits: types and advantages

A routeer bit used for leveling wooden surfaces is a cutting tool in the form of a working element in the form of a disk with bits or complex geometry. It has a shank with a diameter of 6, 8, 12 or 20 mm.

The bit comes in the following types:

• 2-, 3-, 4- and 6-finger, depending on the number of cutting elements;
• with replaceable (rotary) or soldered (welded) knives in the form of carbide sharpened plates;
• with one or two cutting edges on the bit;
• with straight bits, the edges of which are located at an angle of 90°, other geometry or with the ability to change the angle of inclination of the knives up to 45°.

The main advantages of wood bits for surface leveling:

1. Strength and durability.
2. High processing speed resulting in a perfectly smooth surface.
3. Possibility of use in manual milling machines and CNC sleds.
4. Easy to use without the need for excessive effort, even when working with a hand-held milling tool.

Features of choosing a flattening router bits

When choosing a wood router bit to level a plane, it is important to choose the right tool that suits your goals and needs. The main criteria for its selection:

1. The diameter and height of the cutting part, the total length of the router bit - they must correspond not only to the nature of the work being performed, but also to the productivity of the milling machine. The larger these dimensions, the more powerful the machine is required.
2. Shank diameter - if you purchase a bit with a smaller or larger shank diameter than the hole in the collet of a machine or router bit for leveling slabs, it will be impossible to use it without additionally purchasing an adapter - a bushing that allows the transition from a smaller diameter to a larger one and vice versa.
3. Type of working elements - soldered or replaceable knives. A bit with non-removable inserts is cheaper, but if the cutting edge wears out or is damaged during operation, you will have to buy a new tool. Replaceable knives are sharpened on both sides, and a dull bit can be turned over, making the other edge workable, which extends the service life of the bit.
4. The number of teeth and cutting edges - the more there are, the greater the rotation speed of the bit should be. Therefore, you should choose a tool that matches the technical characteristics of the machine, so as not to overpay for extra edges.
5. The material from which the cutting elements are made. The larger the area of the leveled surface, the higher the strength of the incisors should be. In our online store you can order bits with diamond or carbide bits. A diamond slab flattening router bits has a service life many times longer than a carbide bit.
6. The angle between the cutting edges - you should pay attention to this, since the speed and productivity of milling depends on this parameter. For most jobs, it is better to choose straight bits.

Choosing router bits is not an easy matter, requiring consideration of many factors, from the strength characteristics of the material being processed to the parameters of the equipment used. The help of professionals in this case will not be superfluous. Therefore, we recommend consulting with the managers of our online store before purchasing.
