Accupro 71176960 Spiral Router Bit 8mm Upcut Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ACCUPRO 71176960 is a solid carbide upcut spiral router bit designed for precise material removal in CNC routing and handheld router applications. It features an 8 mm cutting diameter, a 20 mm length of cut, and an 8 mm shank diameter, making it a compact, rigid tool suited to high-accuracy work. The single-edge flute geometry and 22-degree helix angle promote efficient chip evacuation and clean edge finishes. The bright uncoated carbide surface delivers direct cutting contact without coating interference, which is particularly effective when working aluminum. This bit is installed by machinists, CNC operators, and skilled woodworking or metalworking tradespeople.

This router bit is specified for aluminum machining applications where sharp, clean cuts and reliable chip clearing are required. The upcut flute direction pulls chips up and away from the workpiece, reducing heat buildup and preventing re-cutting of material. With a 100 mm overall length and right-hand cutting direction, it fits standard CNC router collets and compatible handheld routers accepting an 8 mm shank. It is sold as a single unit and is well suited to production runs and detail work where consistent dimensional accuracy is expected.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC routers and handheld routers equipped with an 8 mm collet or collet adapter. Specified for aluminum material applications.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by machinists or CNC operators following standard tooling changeover procedures. Ensure the router or CNC spindle is fully powered down and de-energized before inserting or removing the bit. Seat the shank fully into the collet to the recommended minimum engagement depth before tightening to the router manufacturer's specified torque. Verify spindle speed settings are appropriate for the cutter diameter and material before beginning the cut.
