Due to this, they avoid the common issues when working with plastic, like melting, chipping or even poor edge quality.
Our collection includes plastic cutting router bits for soft and rigid plastics for various applications. From making signage materials and engineering plastics to cutting vacuum-formed components and display products, we have a router bit for you.
Router Bits for Plastics and Acrylic
We have router bits for plastics that are clear and for acrylic to easily and precisely cut them. These plastics are more fragile and can quickly chip, crack or melt if the wrong router bit is used. Our collection can gently cut these plastics with outstanding chip removal and a smooth cutting action to ensure that plastics are intact and maintain their quality. We have O-flute straight routers that are perfect for these materials because they help to make clean edges while also reducing heat generation.
Our router bit for acrylic plastic is perfect for extruded and cast acrylic sheets, which allows you to create a polished finish straight from the machine.
Solid Carbide Router Bits for Harder Plastics and Woods
We also have a range of solid carbide router bits for harder plastics. These are single-flute designs with a spiral down cut or a spiral up flute to suit your exact project needs. Having a spiral router bit gives you an excellent combination of shearing when cutting paired with an auguring action for effective chip removal. This combination offers you a very clean and accurate cut that also clears chips for a perfect, smooth finish.

Solid Carbide Router Bits FAQs
What Are the Best Router Bits for Cutting Plastic?
The best router bits for cutting plastic are usually the O-flute or single-flute bits. These designs offer excellent chip removal, reduced heat build-up and the prevention of melting or chipping, giving you cleaner cuts and a flawless finish.
Can I Use Standard Wood Router Bits for Plastic?
Even though standard wood bits do have the ability to cut some plastics, they aren’t ideal. Using router bits for cutting plastic offers you a smoother, cleaner cut that’s precise because they’re specifically designed for plastics. They reduce heat and friction for better edges and a longer tool life.
Is There a Specific Router Bit for Acrylic Plastic I Should Use?
There is a specific router bit for acrylic plastic, which is typically a single O-flute design. This is the best choice because it’s great at removing chips and reducing heat to stop cracking, melting and edge chipping.
