Understanding Router Bit Types
The most common CNC router bits include:
- Flat end mills for straight cuts and pocketing
- Ball nose bits for 3D carving and contoured surfaces
- V-bits for engraving and decorative work
- Compression bits for clean cuts on both sides of sheet materials
Choosing the Right Material
Router bits typically come in two main materials:
- Carbide: Ideal for most applications, offering excellent durability and heat resistance. Perfect for professional-grade cutting tools.
- High-Speed Steel (HSS): More affordable but less durable, suitable for occasional use and softer materials.
Key Considerations for Selection
- Material you’re cutting (wood, plastic, aluminum)
- Cutting speed requirements
- Desired finish quality
- Project complexity
- Budget constraints
Maintenance Tips
To extend the life of your router bits:
- Clean after each use
- Check for wear regularly
- Store in a dry, protected environment
- Use appropriate speeds and feeds
- Don’t force cuts beyond the bit’s capabilities
