Diamond-cut Router Bits (RCDXX) - (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 up-cut flutes, 1/8in., 3/16 in. and 1/4 in. shanks, fish-tail point
