0.0312″ (1/32) Chip Breaker Carbide Router – .197″ LOC – Drill Point Tip R149D

Description

This Kyocera chip breaker carbide router features a 0.0312″ (1/32″) cutting diameter,.197″ LOC, 1-1/2″ overall length, and a 1/8″ shank,making it ideal for precision routing in abrasive composite materials.

The chip breaker geometry uses a segmented cutting edge designed to break chips into smaller pieces, helping improve chip evacuation, reduce clogging, and minimize heat buildup during cutting.
