Standard Plastic-Cut Milling Cutters

Mirror-finish machining with lapped flute design. Ideal for plastics such as ABS, acrylic and non-ferrous metals

Up-Cut Plastic-Cut Milling Cutters

Upcut milling cutters remove chips upwards, as its flutes move up from left to right

Down-Cut Plastic-Cut Milling Cutters

 Down cut milling cutters force chips downwards, prevent workpiece lift and improve top surface finish

Plastic-Cut Routers

Available in a variety of shapes and sizes, including chamfering, ball nose, hard plastic & engraving routers

Profiling & Facing Plastic-Cut Tools

MCD (mono-crystal diamond) for extreme tool life on acrylic, aluminium, plexiglass, PMMA, gold & copper

5 Flute Chamfer Prep

With 45° chamfer preparation for
added corner protection

Advantages

Router Styles

Router geometries prevent chip build-up, improving surface finish

Lapped Flutes

Combined with ultra-sharp cutting edges improve cutting performance

Uncoated Carbide

Uncoated tools prevent material building up on the cutting edge

Precision Machining

A tailored dedicated range for high accuracy plastic

Features

1 Flute Geometry

Allows for excellent surface finish and maximum chip evacuation

Polished Flutes
