0.0197″ (0.50mm) Diamond Flute Carbide Router, .079″ LOC, Fish Tail, 1/8″ Shank, Kyocera R103

Description

This diamond flute carbide router features a 0.0197″ (0.50mm) cutting diameter, .079″ flute length, 1-1/2″ overall length, and a 1/8″ shank. Manufactured by Kyocera, this precision tool is designed for routing abrasive composite and laminate materials where edge quality and tool durability are critical.

The diamond flute geometry uses a fine, multi-edge cutting pattern that is gentler on brittle and fracture-prone materials, helping reduce chipping, delamination, and edge damage during cutting.

This router is best suited for FR-4, G10, fiberglass, phenolic laminates, carbon fiber, and other abrasive composites, where maintaining clean edges and consistent performance is essential. For carbon fiber and highly abrasive materials, diamond-coated (PCD) routers are recommended for extended tool life and reduced edge wear.

The up-cut design efficiently evacuates chips while helping improve bottom-edge cut quality.

This tool features a fish tail tip, ideal for delicate entry into brittle or layered materials, helping reduce chipping and delamination at the surface.

Typical Applications

• PCB routing (FR-4, G10)
• Fiberglass and phenolic laminate cutting
• Carbon fiber routing (non-PCD applications)
• Abrasive composite machining
• Profiling and contouring brittle materials
• Precision CNC routing requiring clean edge quality

Benefits

• Diamond flute geometry helps reduce chipping and delamination in brittle materials
• Fine cutting pattern supports clean edges in abrasive composites
• Up-cut design improves bottom-edge cut quality and chip evacuation
• Fish tail tip allows gentler entry into layered or fracture-prone materials
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance
• 1/8″ shank fits many compact CNC routers and spindles
