The bit measures 0.5 inches in cutter diameter with a 2.125-inch length of cut and a 4.5-inch overall length. Its three-edge, right-hand cutting geometry paired with a 10-degree helix angle drives chips downward, minimizing surface tearout on the workpiece face. The 0.5-inch shank seats securely in standard collets. This is a production-grade cutting tool intended for use by CNC router operators and experienced woodworking and plastics fabrication professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 60-252 is well suited for routing operations in sheet goods, solid surface panels, composite laminates, and natural wood stock where top-surface finish quality is a priority. The downcut flute direction makes it particularly effective in applications where workpiece lifting or delamination is a concern, such as routing veneered panels, melamine-coated sheet goods, or layered composite materials. It is a practical choice for production CNC environments and custom fabrication shops running continuous routing cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDowncut flute geometry drives chips toward the workpiece, reducing top-surface tearout\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction provides hardness and wear resistance for abrasive materials including composite plastics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree-edge router style delivers smooth finish passes at production feed rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10-degree helix angle balances chip evacuation with surface quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC router spindle rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated finish maintains consistent edge geometry without coating buildup in plastics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in material applications including composite plastics, natural wood, plastics, and solid surfaces. Part of the ONSRUD 60-200 series. Fits any router or CNC spindle accepting a 0.5-inch shank collet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall and remove router bits only with the spindle fully powered down and locked out per applicable machine safety procedures. Insert the shank fully into the collet and tighten to the collet manufacturer's specified torque range using the correct collet wrench  -  never use an open-flame or impact method. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping or wear before each use and replace the bit if edge integrity is compromised. Downcut bits increase downward axial force on the workpiece, so ensure adequate workholding or vacuum fixture pressure before beginning a cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.375 inches\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: Three Edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Downcut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePiloted\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Composite Plastics, Natural Wood, Plastics, Solid Surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60-200\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.33 pounds\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: ONSRUD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60-252\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ONSRUD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67907188457778,"sku":"60-252","price":225.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c41ba656a4c0d3374bd0d443225c56d7.jpg?v=1791175447","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/onsrud-60-252-downcut-spiral-router-bit-0-5in-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
