Feeds And Speeds

Reviews

If you're looking for speed to rough out your CNC router projects, the long 1/4 roughing endmill CNC router bit is the one you want!!. We call it the 'HOG' here at IDC Woodcraft because it literally is a hog when it comes to removing material mind-blowingly fast from your CNC woodworking project.

With a whopping 3/4" depth of cut per pass,  80ipm plunge rate (yes, I said plunge rate), 80ipm feed rate, and 80% step-over, this bit kicks serious ass when it comes to getting material removed, so you can follow up with your finishing bit to finish your job off.

But it's not just a time thing. Making the roughing endmill CNC router bit your workhorse for major material removal on your CNC woodworking projects, you save a ton of wear and tear from your regular up-cut, down-cut, or compression router bits. You'll only use them to do the finishing work.

That alone extends the life of your bits significantly, saving you money for replacements. At $40-ish bucks a pop, the long 1/4 roughing endmill will 100% save you some cash. Especially when it comes to hardwood.

The ZrCN composite coating increases tool life. 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)

What is the long 1/4 roughing endmill bit good for?

  • Guitar making
  • Keepsake box making
  • Cutting boards
  • Bulky 3D carvings
  • Table legs, like Victorian table legs or French table legs
  • Other thick woodworking projects when you need to remove a lot of wood from hardwood

Plainly put, the up-cutting long 1/4 roughing endmill bit is the CNC bit to use when you need to remove massive amounts of material!

It's not designed to make a pretty cut. It is designed for speed!

Do one better. Get the Long Router Bit Combo Set. It comes complete with a long 1/4 router bit (down-cut) AND a long 1/8 CNC router bit (down-cut)? Click here to check it out!

Excellent all around

It’s a hog and lives up to its name. Follow recommended feeds and speeds and it rips through the wood. Highly recommend the Hog and recommend buying from IDC more. Excellent service on a warranty item. 5 stars to the staff at IDC!!!!

Just OK

No better than others that sell for half the cost. If anything, it is louder and cuts a little rougher. Not my favorite.

Woooo weeee! She eats!!

Love this bit in every way! 100% my go-to for thicker roughing projects and love that I can maximize my feed and plunge rates, saving me so much time.

Also, there is a 90 day guarantee and broken bits get replaced no questions. I appreciate they know accidents happen! Especially when you’re learning.

Needs No Review

They say, “When something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” 99% of the time that is true - the Hog is the 1% exception. Faster, more durable, and somehow quieter than any bit I’ve ever used. Don’t buy one, buy 10 because you’ll throw out most of your other bits when you get this dialed in.

Bit broke after less of a minute of use

Bit failed really fast but I don't want to give a bad review because other bits from IDC have lasted a fairly long time so I'm divided

CHECK OUT THE HOG IN ACTION

Watch the HOG rip through wood at fantastic feed rates. The extended reach flutes allow you to carve deep pockets in your projects in no time flat!

Large projects, pockets and any hardwood you can think of are no match for the HOG!
