Cutting Bits Set AWTools AW32852 — 2 metal cutters and 4 wood cutters

AWTools AW32852 is a set of cutting bits containing two metal cutters and four wood cutters designed for use with compatible routers and rotary tools. The selection of cutters covers basic routing, shaping and cutting operations on wooden and metal workpieces, making the set suitable for repair, woodworking, metalworking and DIY tasks where dedicated bit geometries are required.

Advantages

The set separates metal and wood cutters to provide tool geometries optimized for each material, reducing wear and improving cut quality. Inclusion of multiple wood cutters allows working with different profiles and depths without frequent tool changes. The cutters are intended for installation in common router collets and rotary tool chucks, enabling straightforward replacement and versatile use across workshop and hobby equipment.

Suitable for

• Routing and shaping wooden edges and profiles
• Trimming and cutting wooden panels and mouldings
• Deburring, slotting and light cutting on soft metals
• Repair and DIY projects requiring both wood and metal cutting tools

Key specifications

• Set composition: 2 cutters for metal, 4 cutters for wood
• Compatibility: for use with compatible routers and rotary tools with appropriate collet/chuck
• Intended materials: wood (various types) and soft metals
• Typical applications: routing, shaping, trimming, deburring

How to use

Select a cutter appropriate for the material and the intended cut. Secure the cutter in the router or rotary tool collet or chuck according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring correct seating and clamping torque. Set an appropriate rotational speed and feed rate for the material: lower speeds and light passes for metals, higher speeds and steady feed for most woods. Make progressive passes to reach the desired depth and avoid excessive material removal in a single pass. Always verify the stability of the workpiece and perform a test cut on scrap material when changing cutters or adjusting parameters.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, hearing protection and dust/exhaust extraction. Match cutter type to material: use the wood cutters for soft and hard woods and the metal cutters for light metal work. Maintain cutters by cleaning chips and resin buildup after use and inspect cutting edges for wear; replace damaged or dull bits to maintain cutting quality and safe operation.
