Onsrud 56-062 Solid Carbide Router Bit 3/16in 2 Flute

Product Description

The ONSRUD 56-062 is a solid carbide, double-edge straight-flute router bit designed for precision routing of hard materials across CNC and handheld router applications. It features a 3/16-inch cutter diameter and a 5/8-inch length of cut, making it well-suited for slotting, profiling, and trimming operations where clean, accurate edges are required. The right-hand cutting geometry and two-flute configuration deliver efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finishes. This bit is part of ONSRUD's 56-000P series and is installed by CNC machinists, fabricators, and production routing professionals working with plastics and composites.

The 56-062 is rated for use across a broad range of hard and semi-rigid materials, including ABS, acetal, acrylic, fiberglass, foam, nylon, polyvinylchloride (PVC), phenolic, and solid surfaces. It fits routers and CNC spindles accepting a 1/4-inch shank and is commonly used in fabrication shops, sign shops, and manufacturing environments where consistent edge quality on plastic sheet and composite stock is a daily requirement. Its compact 2-inch overall length suits close-clearance toolpaths.

Key Features

• 3/16-inch cutter diameter with 5/8-inch length of cut for fine detail routing
• Two-flute straight configuration supports clean chip evacuation
• Double-edge geometry provides balanced cutting forces
• Right-hand cut direction compatible with standard CNC and handheld routers
• Rated for ABS, acrylic, PVC, phenolic, fiberglass, foam, nylon, acetal, and solid surfaces

Compatibility

Fits routers and CNC spindles with a 1/4-inch collet or chuck. Designed for use on hard plastics, composites, and solid surface materials as listed in the material application ratings. Part of the ONSRUD 56-000P series.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified CNC operator or machinist following the spindle manufacturer's tooling guidelines. Ensure the router or spindle is fully de-energized and the collet is clean and undamaged before inserting the shank. Secure the bit to the minimum recommended shank insertion depth specified by the machine manufacturer. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use, as carbide tooling can fail without visible warning if run beyond service life.
