Accupro 71176952 Spiral Router Bit 8mm Upcut Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 71176952 is a solid carbide upcut spiral router bit designed for precise material removal in aluminum machining applications. With an 8 mm cutter diameter and a 38 mm length of cut, this single-edge bit generates an upward chip evacuation pattern that clears material efficiently from the cut zone. The right-hand cutting direction and 22-degree helix angle work together to reduce heat buildup and minimize built-up edge when routing aluminum. This bit ships uncoated and is suited for CNC routing and manual routing operations performed by machinists, fabricators, and tool-and-die professionals working with aluminum stock.

This router bit is rated for use with single-sheet aluminum, multi-sheet aluminum, and aluminum plate. It is a strong fit for CNC routing tables and high-speed routers where consistent chip evacuation and clean edge finish are priorities. The 8 mm shank diameter is compatible with standard collets found on most routing spindles used in light fabrication and production environments. The overall length of 76 mm provides adequate reach for typical aluminum plate routing depths without excessive tool overhang.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in aluminum routing
• Upcut flute geometry evacuates chips upward, keeping the cut zone clear
• 22-degree helix angle reduces heat and minimizes built-up edge on aluminum
• Single-edge design allows higher feed rates with reduced cutting forces
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation
• Bright uncoated finish maintains sharp edge geometry without coating buildup

Compatibility

Designed for use with single-sheet aluminum, multi-sheet aluminum, and aluminum plate. Compatible with routing spindles and CNC routers equipped with an 8 mm collet.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by a machinist or CNC operator into an 8 mm collet on a compatible routing spindle. Power down and de-energize the spindle fully before changing tooling. Confirm collet runout is within acceptable tolerance before beginning a cut, as excessive runout accelerates wear on carbide tooling. Follow the machine manufacturer's feed rate and RPM recommendations for the specific aluminum alloy being routed.
