$534.20
- 18mm Dia. × 55mm CL × 18mm Shank
- For exceptionally smooth finishing cuts
- Z=3
FS Tool RSF-D3 Finishing Downcut — Z=3
Design
- 3 precision ground cutting edges
- Good chipflow and low heat retention is achieved by the 3 semi-polished flutes
- Increased cutting edge durability from special submicron, extended life carbide
- 30° helix design with bottom cutting capability
Application
- For exceptionally smooth finishing cuts
- Reduced run-out in parting cuts as 2 cutting edges are engaged at all times
- 3 cutting edges provide faster feed rates at low spindle speeds
- Ideal for robust spindles as more power is required to drive 3 cutting edges
- Eliminates chipping, fuzzing, and tear-out along the top surface of the board
- Smooth finish along the top edge produced by down (negative) shear
- Downward cutting action helps hold down material and reduces the likelihood of part movement
Material
- Excellent finish on:
- Laminated panels
- Chipboard Good finish on:
- Softwoods and hardwoods
- Plywood
- OSB
- MDF
- Solid surface

Need This Tool Customized?
Every machining application is different. If this tool is close to what you need but not an exact fit, General Cutting Tools can help modify it for your specific job, machine, material, or production requirement.
We work with CNC shops, industrial manufacturers, tool rooms, and production facilities to provide tool modifications that improve fit, function, performance, and efficiency. Whether you need a small adjustment or a more specialized cutting tool solution, our team can review your requirements and recommend the best option.
Custom tool modifications can help reduce setup time, improve accuracy, extend tool life, solve clearance issues, and support more consistent production results.
Common Tool Customization Options
Diameter and OD Modifications
We can modify tool diameters to better match your application requirements, including cutting diameter changes, OD modifications, pilot diameter adjustments, step diameters, and shank diameter modifications.
Bore Modifications for Saw Blades
Custom saw blade bore modifications are available for hole diameter changes, pinholes, mounting holes, and keyway cutouts to help match your machine setup and cutting requirements.
Length Adjustments
Tools can be modified for specific reach, clearance, or setup needs. This may include overall length changes, flute length adjustments, reduced neck sections, extended reach designs, or shortened tools for improved rigidity.
Shank Modifications
Shank modifications can help ensure the tool fits properly in your holder, spindle, or machine setup. Common options include shank diameter changes, flats, Weldon flats, reduced shanks, and custom holding requirements.
Radius, Chamfer, and Corner Changes
We can customize corner radius, chamfer angles, edge breaks, and other profile details to meet part print requirements or improve cutting performance.
Step Tool Modifications
For applications that require multiple diameters or operations in a single tool, we can create or modify step tools to help reduce tool changes and improve production efficiency.
Flute and Cutting Edge Adjustments
Depending on the tool and application, flute length, cutting edge geometry, end cutting features, relief angles, and cutting edge shape may be modified to improve chip evacuation, cutting action, and tool performance.
Regrinding and Resharpening
Many cutting tools can be reground or resharpened to restore performance, extend tool life, and reduce replacement costs.
Custom Profiles and Special Forms
For unique part features, we can help provide special forms, custom profiles, custom radii, counterbores, countersinks, keyseat cutters, form tools, and other application-specific tooling solutions.
Material-Specific Tool Adjustments
We can help modify or recommend tooling based on the material being machined, including aluminum, brass, bronze, plastics, stainless steel, hardened steel, cast iron, composites, and other industrial materials.
