Carbide Router Bits

Router bits are essential for fashioning shapes into a selection of materials through the use of a routing tool. Carbide router cutters are best used for plywood, hardwoods, softwoods, and some plastics.

A router bit has a flat base and a rotating blade that is driven by a motor. They are considered an extremely versatile power tool and can either be used in a handheld router, CNC router or attached to a router table. Whether specifying router bits for wood or metal, Rennie Tool Company has a range for you to achieve your desired design in whatever material you are working with.

STRAIGHT ROUTER BITS

Our UK straight router cutters come in a wide range of sizes, allowing you to accurately cater to your project. Straight router bits are used to cut straight into a material to hollow out a section or to create a groove.

UP-CUT ROUTER BITS

An up-cut bit is typically used to remove chips from the hole that it is cutting. Deep grooves need to be fashioned out using continual light cuts. Up-cut bits are ideal for this as the upward direction of the flutes inhibits the build-up of debris, which can either break or bind the bit. As the flute removes chips, it can simultaneously fray the wood fibres, causing damage. You must be mindful of this when using up-cut bits and avoid implementing damage to your project. 

DOWN CUT ROUTER BITS

A down-cut router bit is effective in forming a crisp edge around the hole that it is cutting. However, it is less effective in removing chips from the hole when compared to an up-cut bit. Therefore, down-cut bits are more commonly used for making shallow cuts rather than deep grooves. 

A slower feed rate is required with down-cut bits, as this allows more time to evacuate chips and for them to be cut into smaller pieces that fall from the slot. This means that you need to be careful that the bit does not overheat and, consequently, break. This can be due to the build-up of chips combined with a deep cut. 

CNC ROUTER BITS

CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. Our CNC router bits are compatible with computer-controlled routers. CNC routers are particularly versatile as they can perform the tasks of cutting wood at optimal feeds and speeds compared to manually fed hand routers.
