Seco 17003825 Diamond Pattern Router Bit Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 17003825 is a solid carbide diamond pattern router bit designed for high-performance cutting in advanced composite materials. Built as an end mill style bit, it features a diamond coating finish that extends tool life and reduces heat buildup during aggressive cuts. The cutter diameter measures 0.375 inches with a matching 3/8 inch shank diameter, a length of cut of 1.375 inches, and an overall length of 3.25 inches. Right-hand cutting direction and solid carbide construction make this bit well suited for demanding production and fabrication work where tool wear is a primary concern.

This router bit is intended for cutting carbon fiber, composite materials, graphite, and green ceramic. These materials are common in aerospace fabrication, industrial manufacturing, and specialty fabrication shops. The diamond finish coating is specifically chosen to handle the abrasive nature of these substrates, where standard uncoated carbide tools wear prematurely. Licensed machinists, CNC operators, and composite fabricators are the primary installers and users of this tooling.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life in abrasive materials
• Diamond coating finish reduces wear when cutting carbon fiber, graphite, and green ceramic
• End mill style end type allows plunge and peripheral cutting
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC and router spindle rotation
• 0.375 inch cutter diameter with 1.375 inches of usable cut length
• Compact 3.25 inch overall length suits close-tolerance fixturing setups

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC routers and milling machines with a 3/8 inch collet or tool holder. Rated material applications include carbon fiber, composite, graphite, and green ceramic substrates.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified CNC operator or machinist. Before mounting, ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out per standard lockout/tagout procedures. Seat the shank fully and evenly in a clean, undamaged 3/8 inch collet or tool holder and torque to the machine manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as even minor runout accelerates wear on diamond-coated tooling.
