FS Tool RSC21-UD3 Chipbreaker Compression — Z=3+3

Design

• 3 precision ground cutting edges with chipbreakers
• Good chipflow and lower heat retention is provided by the semi-polished 3 flute design
• Submicron, corrosion resistant, extended life carbide provides increased durability
• 30° helix design with bottom cutting capability

Application

• Chipbreakers reduce tear-out and improve chipflow by reducing the size of chips
• Chipbreakers lower noise levels and cutting pressure
• 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 three cutting edges
• Eliminates chipping, fuzzing, and tear-out when the end of the upcut and downcut cutting edges are more than 1/16" from the top and bottom surfaces
• When cutting rebates, dados, or pockets, use an upcut length that is at least 1/16" shorter than the shallowest cut
• If part movement is a concern, use an upcut length of 4.8mm (0.188") or shorter
• When possible, select a router bit with a longer upcut length to improve chip ejection from cutting path
• For improved dust extraction use with an Aerotech (see pages FC3, FC9)

Materials

• Good finish on:
• Softwoods and hardwoods
• Plywood
• OSB
• Unfaced chipboard
