Quantity:

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

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.

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.

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.

newbie review

Forgive my ignorance as I'm still learning about cnc. I have been doing custom woodwork for quite a few years and until now have used my home-made surfacing table with a big ol' 1/2" DeWalt router for smoothing out my work. It's probably still my preferred tool for big work like river tables because it's fast, powerful and takes big swaths/depths at a pass. However I really like the accuracy and convenience of the IDC bit on my Shapeoko 5pro. for my smaller work. I surfaced a pretty twisted piece of African Mahogany today and discovered a couple things: First don't use a contour cut because this little bit benefits from a ramp-in unless you are taking .01 passes. I had it set for a .05 cut and it jammed up right away, less than pleased with me..:) I don't believe my CarbideCreate lets you ramp on a contour cut. (remember newbie here) so I'll need to do a pocket cut instead. 2nd, the bit is not happy if you ask her to take anything more than .02 on a pass so it takes awhile to do a warped board although I can do other nearby stuff while it works so.. The bit itself, and the service from IDC? Can't be more happy..:) Now to buy those awesome roughing bits!!

Get it done

Well, I decided on the 1/4 wrench by 1 inch ball bit from IDC woodcraft. I was very happy with the cutting performance of this bit. It’s a time saver. If I was better at setting my cut preferences I think I could do even better with it and get less Marks in about a bowl area. But when I had was not bad, sended it out easy.
