FS Tool Roughing Hogger — Z=3
Design
- 3 precision ground cutting edges with specialized chipbreakers
- Excellent chipflow and lower heat retention is achieved by the semi-polished flutes
- Submicron, corrosion resistant, extended life carbide provides increased durability
Application
- Chipbreakers cutting edges produce small chips, allowing higher feed rates with less cutting pressure in hard materials and roughing applications
- 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
- Reduces noise levels during cutting operations of hard materials
- Increased core diameter and shoulder mass to improve rigidity in harder materials
- Recommended for entry doors, stairways, and other deep cuts in hard materials
- Upward cutting action provides excellent chip ejection from the cutting path
- Eliminates chipping, fuzzing, and tear-out along the bottom surface of the board with the upcut design and along top surface of the board with the downcut design
Materials
- Recommended for:
- Softwoods and hardwoods
- Plywood
- OSB
