Description

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.

Excellent Service!

New CNC’er - retired 70 yrs old retired engineer w manufacturing background and woodworking & electronics hobbies. Got my Onefinity machine assembled and working with first bits from IDC to start my library - a little “bit” at a time!

I’ve used the coffee mug and ate the M&M’s that came with my order, and made some sawdust with a downcutting bit on a simple sign. Haven’t used the others yet. Next step is to surface the waste board with the IDC “1.5” Wide Body” bit and check for ramming needs.

IDC quickly filled my initial bit needs and looking forward to buying a few more for my library. My next purchase will be some compressed bits for cutting thin woods without ripping edges.

Thanks also to Garrett for the many videos on-line that helped me get started!

Not just a bit salesman!

Only recently come across this company and Garrett. Being a newbie to CNC Routing I have found the company and Garrett personally like I have been dealing with them for years. In a few short months they have become my go to company not only for my bits but the advice and the deep dive knowledge base they provide.
I have to pay import duty as Im in the UK but the extra is great value. Long may you continue guys. The personal touches, even on the packaging the bits arrive in make you feel as part of their gang ha! Rock on my CNC brothers and sisters. (to coin part of Garretts phrases) Regards jjb

Works like a charm.

The bowl bit makes a nice, clean cut. I am using it now to cut out a depression in the top of a serving board. Looking forward to trying it out in other applications.
