Osg 20611716 Diamond Pattern Router Bit 0.5in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 20611716 is a solid carbide diamond pattern router bit designed for precision routing of advanced composite materials. With a 0.5 inch cutter diameter, 1 inch length of cut, and a 14-flute diamond pattern geometry, it delivers clean, controlled cuts while managing heat and chip evacuation in difficult-to-machine substrates. The diamond coating reduces wear and extends tool life when working abrasive materials. A square end profile produces flat-bottomed cuts and sharp edge definition. This bit is intended for use by machinists, composites fabricators, and tooling professionals operating CNC routers or manual milling equipment.

This router bit is engineered specifically for carbon fiber, carbon composite, and honeycomb core materials — substrates that are highly abrasive and demand tooling with exceptional wear resistance. The 14-flute diamond pattern configuration distributes cutting forces evenly across the tool, reducing delamination and fraying at cut edges. It is well suited for aerospace, automotive, and industrial composites fabrication environments where surface finish and edge quality are critical. The 1/2 inch shank diameter fits standard router collets and CNC tool holders common in production and job-shop settings.

Key Features

• 14-flute diamond pattern geometry minimizes delamination in composite materials
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and heat resistance
• Diamond coating extends tool life in highly abrasive substrates
• Square end type produces flat-bottomed slots and pockets
• 1/2 inch shank fits standard CNC and manual router collets
• Optimized for carbon fiber, carbon composite, and honeycomb core applications

Compatibility

Designed for use in carbon fiber, carbon composite, and honeycomb core machining applications. Fits 1/2 inch collet chucks on CNC routers and compatible milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully powered down and locked out per applicable machine safety procedures. Ensure the collet and tool holder are clean and free of debris before seating the shank. Use appropriate RPM and feed rate settings for the specific composite material being machined — consult the tooling manufacturer for recommended cutting parameters. Adequate dust extraction is strongly recommended when machining carbon fiber due to hazardous airborne particulate.
