Onsrud 61-062 Single Edge Router Bit 3/16 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The ONSRUD 61-062 is a single-edge, straight-flute router bit designed for clean, precise cuts in hard plastics and similar materials. Built from solid carbide, this 1-flute square-end bit delivers consistent chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup in thermoplastic materials. The cutter diameter measures 3/16 inches (0.188 inches decimal), with a 5/8-inch length of cut and a 1/4-inch shank diameter. Overall length is 2 inches. Right-hand cutting geometry suits standard CNC routers and handheld routing setups. It is part of the ONSRUD 61-000P series, which is engineered specifically for plastics machining applications requiring tight tolerances and smooth edge finish.

This bit is suited for use in fabrication shops, sign shops, and industrial production environments working with extruded acrylic, HDPE, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinylchloride, and UHMW. Its single-edge design promotes efficient material removal in one-pass operations on hard plastic sheet stock. It fits standard 1/4-inch collets found on CNC routing tables and portable routers used in trade and light manufacturing settings.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for durability in hard plastic applications
• Single-edge, straight-flute geometry for efficient chip clearance
• Square end profile for flat-bottom cuts and clean edge finishing
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC and handheld routers
• Non-piloted design for full cutting depth control by operator or CNC program
• Part of the ONSRUD 61-000P series engineered for thermoplastics

Compatibility

Designed for use with extruded acrylic, HDPE, hard plastics, polyvinylchloride, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and UHMW. Fits any router with a standard 1/4-inch collet. Not piloted; intended for CNC or guided routing applications.

Installation Notes

Install this bit into a clean, properly sized 1/4-inch collet and tighten to the router or spindle manufacturer's specified torque range. Power down and lock out the router before bit changes. Confirm spindle speed settings are appropriate for the workpiece material and cutter diameter before beginning a cut. Inspect the carbide cutting edge for chipping before each use.
