8mm x 35mm Up-Spiral Flat Router Bit

Using the 8mm x 35mm Up-Spiral Flat Router Bit you can perform deeper passes into a variety of material in both roughing and finishing. The mark on the shaft shows exactly where it needs to be clamped in the collet to reach the full depth – a little trick to save time during the tool change. Three sharp cutting edges offer several advantages in a wide range of materials, from foam to hardwood.

Notes

  • Spindle Speed is key with this bit, if it’s too fast, the bit will have a shorter service life. See table below for more information.

  • Cleaning it from time to time will increase the service life of this bit considerably.

  • As with many others, chipboard, MDF and other highly abrasive materials may reduce the lifespan of this bit.

  • The cross × in the table below indicate that a different router bit may be more suitable to prolong the life of the bit.

  • All values are in mm. Plunge and Auto Speed are in mm/min.

Cutting Recommendations for 8mm Bit

  • Well-balanced, allowing for higher edge quality and overall user experience

  • Allows for greater feed rates

  • Three flutes stay sharp longer

This router bit is perfect for roughing passes with high feed rates, as well as finish passes with high edge quality. When used with the correct spindle speed, it will remain sharp longer.
