Osg 26800716 Spiral Router Bit 0.5in Solid Carbide Diamond

Product Description

The OSG 26800716 is a solid carbide spiral router bit designed for precision cutting in composite materials. With a 0.5 inch cutter diameter, a 1.5 inch length of cut, and a 3 inch overall length, this bit delivers clean, consistent results in demanding routing applications. The diamond coating provides extended wear resistance against the abrasive nature of composites. The end mill style end geometry allows for both plunge and peripheral cutting. Intended for installation and use by machinists, CNC operators, and experienced fabricators working with composite panels, laminates, and similar materials.

This router bit is suited for routing operations in composite sheet goods including fiber-reinforced panels and similar abrasive substrates. The spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation, reducing heat buildup and minimizing delamination at cut edges. The 0.5 inch shank diameter provides secure tool holding in standard collet chucks or end mill holders on CNC routers and manual routing equipment. Typical applications include profiling, slotting, and trimming of composite workpieces in shop or production environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in abrasive composite materials
• Diamond coating extends tool life against highly abrasive substrates
• Spiral flute design promotes chip evacuation and reduces cutting heat
• End mill end type supports both plunge entry and peripheral cutting passes
• 0.5 inch shank diameter fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders
• 1.5 inch length of cut accommodates typical composite panel thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC routers and manual routing equipment accepting a 0.5 inch shank diameter collet or end mill holder. Optimized for composite material applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes must be performed with the spindle fully powered down and locked out per shop lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the collet or holder is torqued to the equipment manufacturer specification before operation. Inspect the cutting edges and diamond coating for wear or chipping before each use. Worn or chipped tooling should be removed from service to avoid workpiece damage or unsafe cutting conditions.
