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
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
