1/2" Down-Cutting Bit Endmill For CNC Routers, 1/2" Shank

The 1/2 inch down-cutting bit (a.k.a. down bit, down cut bit, downcut bit) is the workhorse of CNC router bits! You will almost always make this the first on your machine. Why?

2 reasons...

1. The 1/2" down bit removes the bulk of the material in pockets and around letters. 
2. It does all the cutout work for finished projects.

A third reason is, most CNC routers are set up for 1/2" bits, so it is the reasonable go-to for your work. 

For these reasons, you want to make sure your 1/2" down cutter is made right & built to last. That's why these are made above industry standards and 100% tungsten carbide.

Carbide is what professional metal machinists use to make complex items like car engines. It stays sharp 50x longer than conventional CNC router bits.

The upgraded ZrCN composite coating increases tool life significantly. Coating specs: Hardness of 2500 Vickers hardness, coating thickness of 1 to 4 microns, friction coefficient of 0.3, maximum service temperature of 1000° F (550° C)

Ideal Applications Include:

• Projects that require lots of material removal
• Production
• Hardwood projects that quickly wear regular finishing endmills
• Larger woodworking projects
