FS Tool RSF-UD3 Finishing Compression — Z=3+3
Design
- 3 precision ground cutting edges
- Good chipflow and low heat retention is achieved by the three 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
- Increased number of bite marks per inch reduce chip size and provide a smooth finish, important when edge-banding without pre-miling
- 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)
