Next, use a small brush to brush off any loose dust. Once you've removed the excess residue and burnt-on deposits, use a rag wetted with a quality cleaning fluid to remove resinous deposits. Thankfully, a little goes a long way making the Axminster Bit & Blade Cleaner economical to use. It is designed to dissolve resin, pitch, goo, gunk, crud, gunge and other nasty residues. This special formula helps to maintain cutter performance and gets to work within 60 seconds. This router bit set from Bosch comprises 15 well chosen, high quality TCT router cutters. For anyone who owns a router that can take 1/4" shank cutters this is a handy set of 15 very useful bits. All 15 can be used in hand held routers, in routers fixed in tables.

If you want your router cutters to last longer it is essential that you maintain them. Regular router bit care and maintenance will help to provide years of trouble free service; a little bit of TLC really does go a long way! The third step in the production is to CNC mill the flats and recesses. The shape of the finished cutter now starts to emerge. 4) Carbide Tips Credit subject to status and affordability.

The preparation of the cutting tips is critical. Axcaliber router cutter tips use 99% pure, micro-grain, C2 or C3 tungsten carbide. This is characterised by its high strength, toughness as well as extreme hardness. Its hardness falls between 8.5 and 9.0 on the Mohs scale, almost as hard as diamond. 5) BrazingTo clean router bits, begin by removing the bearing if it has one to avoid washing out the lubricant. A word of caution: brand new router cutters often have the bearings screwed on incredibly tightly so we recommend using a glove or piece of rag to save your fingers from getting scraped!
