    Router Bits for Composites

    The sharp cutting edges and flute shapes of these tools are specifically designed to cut through tough composite materials, such as carbon fiber and fiberglass, with minimal resistance. This means less strain on your router and more control when cutting, leading to smooth cuts. They're made of solid carbide for longer tool life and faster cutting speeds than high-speed steel.

    Square Cut Style—Use bits with a square cut style to cut slots, pockets, and edges.
    Drill/Mill Cut Style—Bits with a drill/mill cut style have a pointed end for easier plunge cuts than bits with a square cut style.
    Plunge Cut—Plunge-cutting bits let you cut directly into the workpiece from above. Other bits are best for operations where the peripheral teeth do most of the work, such as trimming, contouring, and finishing.
    Diamond-Pattern Flutes—Diamond-pattern flutes' small, staggered teeth aggressively cut, yet leave a smooth finish.

    Diamond-Coated Router Bits for Composites

    With a diamond coating, these bits resist wear when used on abrasive materials, making them last about 50 times longer than uncoated bits. Their sharp cutting edges and flute shapes are specifically designed to cut through tough materials such as composites with minimal resistance. This means less strain on your router and more control when cutting, leading to a smooth cut. Bits are made of solid carbide for longer tool life and faster cutting speeds than high-speed steel.
