How to Choose CNC Router Bits For Woodworking

Before choosing the CNC Router bits, please be aware the following points in advance:

1.The nature of the material being cut.

The object of wood cutting can be divided into solid wood and wood composite materials. The solid wood can be divided into soft wood, hard wood and modified wood, etc .; the wood composite materials include veneer laminate, particle board, oriented particle board, large particle board, gypsum particle board, cement particle board,plywood, hard fiber board, medium density Fiberboard, high-density fiberboard, blockboard, glued composite materials, etc. Some pieces of wood or wood composite materials are also subjected to single-sided or double-sided veneer decoration.

2.The cutting direction of the tool.

For the solid wood cutting, wood cutting is divided into longitudinal, transverse, end and longitudinal end, longitudinal and transverse and transverse end cutting according to the direction of the blade relative to the wood fiber.

3.The turning direction and feeding direction of the wood CNC machine tools.

According to the rotation direction of the machine tool axis and the feed direction of the wood workpiece, determine the tilt direction of the blade on the tool.

4.Stability of the tools and workpiece.

The stability of the CNC cutting tools and the workpiece during the cutting process includes several aspects. The stability of the workpiece means that the wood workpiece is fed smoothly during the cutting process without jumping. The measures taken to strengthen the stability of the workpiece are mainly to reduce the center of gravity of the workpiece and increase the contact area of the wood CNC machine.

5.The quality requirements of wood CNC machine processing surface.

The surface quality of wood workpieces includes surface roughness, geometric dimensions and shape position accuracy.

10 Tips to Choose CNC Router Bits for Woodworking:

1) For high-density board or solid wood processing, the ridge cutter is recommended.
2) For multi-layer board or plywood processing, the double-edged straight groove milling cutter is recommended to use.
3) For acrylic mirror machining, which is recommended to use diamond machining tool.
4) For rough machining particle board processing, multi-strip milling cutter is recommended to use .
5) For cork, density board, native wood, PVC board, acrylic large-scale deep relief processing, single-edged spiral ball-end milling cutter is recommended to use .
6) For the aluminum plate cutting, we recommend to use a single-blade special aluminum milling cutter. Because the single-edge special aluminum milling cutter does not stick to the tool during the processing, the speed is fast and the efficiency is high.
7) For precision small relief processing, which is recommended to use a round bottom cutter.
8) For burr-free cutting process, we recommend to use single-edged, double-edged up and down cutting cutter. The use effect of the lower cutter, no burrs on the upper surface of the processed product, and no rocking during processing.
9) For MDF cutting process, double-tool large chip evacuation spiral milling cutter is recommended to use, which has two high-capacity chip evacuation grooves, a double-edged design, which not only has a good chip evacuation function, but also achieves a good tool Balanced, when processing medium and high density boards, there is no blackening, no cap smoking, and long service life. It is very popular.
10) For acrylic cutting, we recommend to use single-edged spiral milling cutter. The characteristics of single-edged spiral milling cutters are: smokeless and odorless during processing, high speed, high efficiency, non-sticky chips, and truly environmental protection. Its special manufacturing process ensures that the processing of acrylic does not burst, and extremely fine tool lines (even no tool lines) ), The surface is smooth and smooth. If the surface needs to be sanded, it is recommended to use a double cutter spiral milling cutter.

The selection method of wood CNC machine tools has been verified by practice and has been widely used. Correctly selecting the corresponding wood CNC router tools for different processing materials according to the above methods is of great help to precision production and improve efficiency.
