Featuring a 1" cut length and 3" overall length, this solid carbide roughing bit is optimized for fast stock removal in wood, MDF, plywood, plastics, and composite materials. The 3-flute geometry increases feed capability and productivity while maintaining smooth, controlled cutting action during aggressive machining operations.
The downshear design pushes chips downward, helping reduce top-surface tear-out and improving finish quality on laminated and veneered materials. Ideal for roughing passes, pocketing, and high-volume CNC production, this tool delivers strong chip evacuation, reduced vibration, and consistent performance under load.
