FS Tool RSC20-D3 Roughing Downcut — Z=3
Design
- 3 precision ground scalloped cutting edges
- Good chipflow and low heat retention is achieved by the 3 semi-polished flutes
- Submicron, corrosion resistant, extended life carbide provides increased durability
- 30° helix design with bottom cutting capability
Application
- Clean but uneven surface finish is produced by the aggressive scalloped cutting edge design
- Scalloped edges produce smaller chips, allowing higher feed rates with less cutting pressure in hard materials and roughing applications
- Improved cutting edge life when cutting hard and fibrous materials
- 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
- Downward cutting action helps hold down material and reduces the likelihood of part movement
Materials
- Softwoods and hardwoods
- Plywood
- OSB
