Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Which flute type is best for cutting plastic? A: O-flute Carbide router bits or single-flute endmills are best for plastics because they produce clean edges, minimize heat buildup, and reduce melting of material while efficiently evacuating the chips. |
Q: Do you make custom Carbide router bits and endmills? A: Yes, we specialize in designing and manufacturing custom tools to meet exact specifications for your CNC machine and material. |
Q: What are your typical lead times for custom carbide tools? A: Custom tools are usually shipped within 2-3 weeks, depending on complexity and current production schedule. |
