3-flute router bit Explanation: 3 Flute Design provides an extra-smooth finish. Solid carbide compression spiral bits are designed for CNC applications requiring high feed rates and a clean finish. Particularly suitable for double-sided melamine or laminated material. Choose either single flute for the highest possible feed rate or double flute for the best finish. Special unique carbide for longer lifetime in abrasive material. http://www.toolstoday.com/p-6023-cnc-compression-spiral-bits... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 27 mins (2010-07-14 12:38:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The bit in your first picture would be referred to an an endmill http://www.precisebits.com/products/carbidebits/deepreach125... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 29 mins (2010-07-14 12:40:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or end mill http://www.menlotool.com/catalog/ProductDetail.aspx?pid=96 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-07-14 13:50:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A flute is not a Schneider, it's a groove. But whereas Germans refer to the cutting edges, English speakers refer to the number of grooves. Flutes are the grooved, or recessed, portion of the router bit. The number of flutes determines the number of knives distributed around the circumference of a tool. More flutes means more cutting edges, generally resulting in a higher quality cut because there are more cuts per unit distance. Fewer flutes means there will be less knife cuts per unit distance, resulting in a rougher surface. http://www.learncnc.org/lesson_browser/lessons/lesson5_page2... |
