Diamond-cut Down-cut Router Bits (RDDXX) - (fish-tail tip)
Think & Tinker solid carbide router bits were designed and optimized for the fabrication of printed circuit boards on a wide variety of substrates. Decades of design improvements has expanded their application range to glass and carbon-fiber composites, reconstituted minerals, bisque, ceramic tile and masonry.
Every tool is:
- 100% measured / optically inspected to insure that EVERY tool meets, or exceeds, our published specifications
- available with depth rings precisely positioned to ±0.004 in. (0.10mm), virtually eliminating the need for resetting Z-axis zero in many applications)
- made from premium grade submicrograin tungsten carbide (HRa: 93, TRS: 4.0GPa )
- Geometry - diamond-cut down-cut flutes, 1/8in. shank, fish-tail point
- Length - 1/8 in. shank - 1.5in. ±0.010 in.
- Diameter - nominal +0.000 in., -0.002 in.
- Max runout (TIR) - < 0.0005 in.
- Max. depth of cut - EFL varies by diameter ±0.005 in.
- Anticipated Life - anticipated life: 3,000 linear in. (FR4 epoxy glass)
- Material - solid submicrograin carbide
- Ring Set - 0.800 in. ±0.002 in. (optional)
- 1/8 in. shank - 0.800in. ±0.004 in. standard
- 3/16 in. shank - not available
- 1/4 in. shank - depends on OAL, accuracy ±0.0015 in.
- Operating RPM - CNC certified operation 8k RPM to 60k RPM
- Fish tail point eliminates backside breakout and splintering
- Diamond grind produces smooth sidewalls with minimal top edge burr formation
- Down-draft flute form prevents lifting and stabilizes substrate
- De-paneling printed circuit boards
- Contour cutting internal pockets in PCB substrates
- Shaping reconstituted minerals (high mineral to resin ratio)
- Cutting sheet composites
- Finding the best combination of feed and speed
- Mechanical Etching of Printed Circuit Boards (PCB)
- Best bits for cutting carbon-fiber and fiberglass composites
