What is the main advantage of the tungsten carbide cutters?
Tungsten carbide cutters provide superior durability and maintain sharpness longer than standard materials, ensuring consistent cutting performance over time.
Troubleshooting
Rough cuts or splintering
Ensure the bit is sharp and not dull. Check that the router speed is appropriate for the material and depth of cut. Verify the bit is securely tightened and not vibrating. Make shallower passes.
Bit wandering or chipping excessively
Confirm the bit is properly seated in the collet. Reduce the feed rate. Ensure the material is securely clamped. Check if the chip-limiting feature is functioning correctly.
Router overheats during use
Reduce the depth of cut per pass and the feed rate. Ensure the router's cooling vents are clear of dust and debris. Allow the router to cool down periodically.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the router is unplugged before installing or removing the bit. Insert the bit shank firmly into the router's collet and tighten securely according to your router's manual. Set the desired cutting depth.
Compatibility: This bit is compatible with standard router collets for handheld routers, table-mounted portable routers, and CNC machines. Always ensure your router is suitable for the bit's size and RPM.
Care: After each use, clean the bit to remove wood dust and debris. A soft brush or compressed air can be effective. For stubborn residue, a mild solvent can be used, followed by thorough drying. Store the bit in a protective case to prevent damage and maintain sharpness. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could degrade the tungsten carbide.
