It carries a 3\/16 inch (0.1875 inch) cutter diameter, a 5\/8 inch length of cut, and a 1\/4 inch shank diameter, with a 2 inch overall length. The downcut flute geometry pulls chips toward the workpiece surface rather than lifting them, which reduces top-surface tearout and fraying on plastics and laminates. The 21-degree helix angle and bright uncoated finish keep the cutting edge sharp and reduce material buildup during operation. This bit is installed and run by machinists, CNC operators, and skilled fabricators working with routers and CNC routing equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis router bit is designed for cutting and profiling plastic sheet goods and engineered solid-surface materials. Suitable applications include ABS, acrylic, HDPE, HIPS, PE, PET, POM, PS, polycarbonate, polypropylene, solid surfaces, and UHMW. The downcut geometry is particularly well suited to through-cuts and edge profiles where a clean top surface finish is required. It is commonly used in sign fabrication, countertop fabrication, and plastic component profiling on CNC routers and handheld routing setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in abrasive plastic materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDowncut flute type reduces top-surface tearout and fraying on sheet plastics and laminates\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-edge router style provides efficient chip clearance in gummy or soft thermoplastics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e21-degree helix angle balances cutting aggressiveness with smooth surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish minimizes material adhesion on plastics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC router and handheld router spindle rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 1\/4 inch router collets on CNC routers and handheld routers. Rated for ABS, acrylic, HDPE, HIPS, PE, PET, POM, PS, polycarbonate, polypropylene, solid surfaces, and UHMW as stated by the manufacturer.

Always power down and lock out the router spindle before changing bits. Confirm shank engagement depth meets the router or collet manufacturer minimum before operation. Eye and hearing protection are required when operating routing equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1875 inches (3\/16 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches (5\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRouter Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single Edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Downcut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 21 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePiloted\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112821\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACCUPRO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 71177331\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737103106354,"sku":"71177331","price":60.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/244958b4696e7385690ffe2a59e98e37.jpg?v=1788784270","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-71177331-downcut-spiral-router-bit-3-16-in-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
