Also known as a 'tray bit' or rounding bit, this Big Stiffy bowl bit for CNC routers (1" inch diameter, 1/4" shank) is an excellent bit for removing a huge amount of material quickly on your CNC router projects, like trays while keeping a baby's-bottom smooth radius along the entire cut. Bowl bits are the best router bit for tray making.

With the extra-long flute length and bowl radius of 0.375", it can remove large amounts of material in a single pass. The 'super-shear' blade is designed to leave exceptionally clean cuts at higher feed rates.

Affectionately called "big balls" rounding bit in the CNC router community, (you might know it as a tray bit for CNC routers) this bowl biot for CNC routers is the only 3/8" radius bowl bit available for home-based CNC router owners. Bits in this family are also known as rounding bits or round over bits.

Why is it called the Big Stiffy? 2 reasons. The first is, that this bit has extra mass, which absorbs vibration you'd get from other smaller, more common, CNC router bits of this type. The second reason is, that the overall bit length is shorter than the standard bit. This little design modification keeps your bit stiffer while cutting, which gives you a 50% improvement in your surface finish. In other words, the potential for chatter is virtually eliminated.

The "HOG" roughing bit is a recommended complementary bit to rough out all the wood of the 'bowl' part of the CNC router woodworking project. The HOG will do the heavy carving, leaving the bowl bit to do the finish work.

To see why the HOG is a bit you want to get with your bowl bit, watch this video to see it in action.

This bit has a carbide blade brazed to a 4140 body.

1" Bowl Bit

Hi Folks
If you are looking for a large high quality bowl bit this is the one for you. I have used this to make a bunch of trays of various types and depths and always get a very smooth bottom and the radius cuts are always very clean.

The Serious Bit with a Serious problem.

The shank on this bit needs to be addressed. I have bent one bit and broken another with in the last month. I'm using the bit in 2x pine. the first bits bent at the collet and the third brock at the collet. I'm using the feeds and speeds given. Luckly I had a fourth bit to finish the order. I had to reduce the speed to 20 insh/mm with a stepdown of 30inch/mm and a spindle speed of 21,000. I may need some input.
Thank you
Allen

1" Bowel Bit

Not sure what to think. Seems that there are 2 different speeds and feeds charts for this bit. I down loaded a file back in December that went directly to my library. (Carbide Create) The other chart was online on your website. Check the difference out, which to choose. The reason behind this is that I got some chatter. I tried setting my speeds and feeds to S/O .20, D/P to .125, Plung to 60, F/R to 60,RPM 14000K still got chatter and in only one direction on one side. Three other sides were fine. Checked for loose screws etc. nothing? So let my know which file to follow in the future. I have screen shots if you need them. Thanks
