Seco 17003849 Diamond Router Bit 0.25 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 17003849 is a solid carbide diamond pattern router bit designed for high-performance material removal in demanding routing and milling applications. With a 0.25-inch cutter diameter and a 0.75-inch length of cut, this end mill-style bit handles aggressive material engagement while maintaining dimensional accuracy. The diamond coating provides exceptional surface hardness and heat resistance, extending tool life when cutting abrasive workpiece materials. Right-hand cutting geometry and a 1/4-inch shank diameter make it compatible with standard router chucks and CNC tool holders. Overall length is 2.5 inches. The solid carbide construction resists deflection under load, delivering consistent cut quality across the full depth of cut.

This router bit is engineered for use on carbon fiber, composite materials, graphite, and green ceramic — abrasive materials that rapidly degrade uncoated tooling. It is well-suited for CNC routing operations in aerospace, automotive composite, and advanced materials fabrication environments. The diamond finish addresses the specific wear demands of reinforced and filled composite substrates where standard carbide tooling shows premature edge breakdown. Machinists and CNC operators working with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer panels, graphite electrodes, or similar materials will find this bit appropriate for both slotting and profiling operations.

Key Features

• Diamond coating for extended tool life in abrasive materials including carbon fiber, graphite, and green ceramic
• Solid carbide construction minimizes deflection and maintains edge integrity under load
• 0.25-inch cutter diameter with 0.75-inch length of cut for precise slot and profile routing
• End mill-style geometry supports both plunge and lateral cutting paths
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation
• 1/4-inch shank diameter fits widely available collets and router chucks

Compatibility

Designed for use with carbon fiber, composite, graphite, and green ceramic workpiece materials. Fits standard 1/4-inch collets and router tool holders. Primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S as defined by ISO material classification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator familiar with router bit mounting procedures. Power down and lock out the spindle before inserting or removing the bit. Seat the shank fully into the collet to the manufacturer-recommended engagement depth before torquing the collet nut. When routing carbon fiber or composite materials, use appropriate respiratory protection and dust collection to manage fine particulate generated during cutting.
