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 the boring machine, the spindle motor, and the panel saw. We recommend using high-quality, multi-slotted collets to ensure that the routing cutter runs without vibration during continuous work. We only recommend using reducing sleeves when absolutly necessary. Before inserting the collet into the motor spindle, the collet must snap into the union nut to prevent jamming and wedging.

We offer the highest quality routing cutters that are also suitable for use by professional users. The spectrum ranges from HSS routing cutters for plastic processing, over carbide router cutters, tipped for wood and plastics processing to insertion routing cutters. Our UK straight router cutters come in a wide range of sizes allowing you to accurately cater to your project. These bits are used to cut straight into a material to hollow out a section or to create a groove. To select the right router cutters for your router, we recommend first selecting the desired shaft size and then the desired shape. The available cutter sizes will then be displayed of the selected router cutters shape. 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 be careful to avoid implementing damage to your project.In addition, we also offer ultra high-end bits made completly from tungsten-carbide for long life and precision.

The sautershop router bit range come from some of the worlds leading manufactures, for example TREND, established in 1955 they are the number one supplier in the UK. Also ENT, a german manufacturer, from whom we offer their complete range. 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 does mean that you need to be careful the bit does not overheat and consequently break. This can be due to the build-up of chips combined with a deep cut. You can find out which instructions you must observe when using ENT router bit, here safety instructions ENT router bit. Frequently Asked Questions 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 router tool 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 handheld or attached to a router table. Our UK router bits are imperative to achieving your desired design in whatever material you are working with.
