Product description

Two-flute straight router bit · solid tungsten carbide

For wood, MDF, plywood and wood-based panels

A solid tungsten carbide router bit with two straight cutting edges and straight flutes. It is used for cutting, grooving and routing wood and wood-based panels on CNC and engraving machines. The cutting section has ground and polished surfaces, and the flutes provide space for chip evacuation.

Select the size by its cutting diameter, cutting length, shank diameter and overall length. These dimensions describe different parts of the tool. Their values are shown in the selected variant designation and on its corresponding dimension card.

1. Applications and workpiece materials

The straight cutting edges and flutes are intended for materials used in woodworking and for decorative and sign-making components. Choosing a particular bit requires matching its diameter and cutting length to the planned operation.

Material	Application
Solid wood	Cutting, grooving and routing wooden components.
MDF and fibreboard	Machining panels, including medium- and lower-density fibreboard.
Plywood and multilayer panels	Cutting and grooving layered wood-based materials.
Other wood-based panels	Machining composite and wood-core panels, with cutting length selected for the material thickness.
Acrylic and PVC	Cutting, grooving and routing with conditions selected for the particular plastic and machine.

The workpiece material and planned operation are the starting points for selecting a size. Matching the cutting diameter alone does not replace checking the cutting length and shank size.

2. Construction and technical specifications

Parameter	Value
Tool type	Straight router bit for cutting, grooving and routing
Tool material	Solid tungsten carbide
Number of flutes	2
Flutes	Straight
Cutting diameter	Ø1–8 mm, depending on the variant
Cutting length	3–42 mm, depending on the variant
Shank type	Cylindrical
Shank diameters	Ø3.175; Ø4; Ø5; Ø6; Ø8 mm
Overall length	38–70 mm, depending on the variant

The ranges describe the tool family. Read the available combinations of diameter, cutting length and shank size from the product selector. Not every combination of values in the table represents a separate size.

3. How to read the designation and dimensions

The example code Fi6x17x6Dx50 contains four dimensions. The designation gives the cutting diameter, cutting length, shank diameter and overall length, in that order.

Code element	Meaning
Fi6	Ø6 mm cutting diameter.
17	17 mm cutting length.
6D	Ø6 mm shank diameter.
50	50 mm overall length.

Cutting length and overall length are separate dimensions. The first describes the cutting section; the second describes the complete tool from its tip to the end of its shank. Cutting diameter refers to the section machining the workpiece, while shank diameter is used to select the mounting size.

4. Selecting cutting length for panel cutting

For panel cutting, select a cutting length 2–5 mm greater than the material thickness, taking the available tool dimensions into account. This recommendation concerns the cutting section, rather than the overall length of the bit.

Establish the panel thickness. Compare it with the cutting length shown on the selected bit card.
Allow the 2–5 mm difference. Match the cutting section to the panel thickness and an available size.
Avoid an unnecessarily long cutting section. Excessive cutting length increases the risk of tool breakage.

Use the numerical dimensions on the variant card when selecting cutting length. The appearance and proportions of an illustrative photograph must not be used to determine the cutting length.

5. Mounting and machine type

The bit has a cylindrical shank. Select the collet or holder to match the shank diameter of the particular variant. The shank and cutting diameters may differ, so check both dimensions before mounting.

Machine type	What to check
CNC router or sign-making engraving machine	Mounting compatibility with the shank diameter, together with the cutting diameter and length required for the planned operation.
Woodworking engraving machine / wood CNC router	Suitability of the selected size for the machine holder and workpiece.

The machine type does not replace checking its mounting system. Final selection requires the shank and bit dimensions to be compatible with the operating range and instructions of the particular machine.

6. Selecting a variant

Start with the material and operation. Establish whether you are cutting a panel, making a groove or routing a selected shape.
Select the cutting diameter. Compare it with the dimensions of the feature to be machined.
Check the cutting section and shank. The cutting length must suit the planned operation, and the shank diameter must match the mounting system.
Compare the full code with the card. Also check the overall length and the values displayed after selecting a size.

7. What you are ordering and how to use the cards

Item	Scope
Sales unit	1 two-flute straight router bit
Tool size	As specified by the variant selected in the product selector

The quantity field specifies the number of pieces of the selected size. Photos showing several tools illustrate the bit family; the order is for the selected variant.

The dimension cards are illustrative and are not to scale. Select the bit using its stated diameters and lengths. Read dimensions from the labels and table, rather than measuring the tool in the photograph.

8. Frequently asked questions

How many cutting edges does the bit have, and what are its flutes like?

The bit has two cutting edges and straight flutes. It is made from solid tungsten carbide.

How should I select cutting length for a panel?

For panel cutting, choose a cutting length 2–5 mm greater than the material thickness, taking the available sizes into account. An unnecessarily long cutting section increases the risk of breakage.

Is cutting diameter always equal to shank diameter?

No. Read both dimensions from the designation and variant card. The shank diameter determines the mounting size; cutting diameter refers to the cutting section.
