Osg 20612216 Diamond Pattern Router Bit 0.1875 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 20612216 is a solid carbide diamond pattern router bit designed for precision routing of advanced composite materials. With a 0.1875-inch cutter diameter and a 0.75-inch length of cut, it is built to machine carbon fiber, carbon composite layups, and honeycomb core panels without delamination or fraying. The 8-flute geometry combined with a diamond finish coating provides aggressive chip evacuation and extended tool life under the abrasive conditions typical of composite fabrication work. At 2 inches overall length and a 3/16-inch shank, it fits standard router collets used in CNC routing and high-speed hand routing setups.

This router bit is suited for aerospace, motorsport, and industrial composite fabrication environments where clean edge quality on carbon fiber and honeycomb core is required. It handles dry or lightly assisted routing passes on flat panels, contoured layups, and trimming operations. CNC machining centers and pneumatic routers running appropriate spindle speeds for carbide tooling are the typical platforms. Machinists and composite technicians working on tight-tolerance trim and slot operations will find the square end profile well matched to shoulder routing and through-cuts.

Key Features

• 8-flute diamond pattern geometry for reduced delamination in carbon fiber and honeycomb core
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and heat resistance under abrasive composite cutting conditions
• Diamond finish coating extends tool life and reduces cutting friction on hard composite materials
• Square end profile supports shoulder routing, slotting, and flush trimming operations
• 3/16-inch shank fits standard small-diameter collets on CNC routers and pneumatic routing tools

Compatibility

Designed for routing carbon, carbon fiber, and honeycomb core composite materials. Fits routers and CNC machining centers equipped with a 3/16-inch collet.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified machinist or composite fabrication technician. Confirm spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for solid carbide tooling and the specific composite material before running. Secure the shank fully in the collet to the manufacturer-recommended engagement depth and inspect the tool edge for chips or wear before each use. Always use appropriate respiratory protection and dust collection when machining carbon fiber materials.
