Router Bit Globus FREZ FP24 80x5x16-42 — milling cutter 80x5x16 mm, 42 teeth

Globus FREZ FP24 80x5x16-42 is a milling cutter for routing and profiling operations in woodworking. The cutter has an 80 mm diameter, 5 mm blade width and a 16 mm shank, with 42 teeth designed for fine, consistent material removal. It is intended for use in CNC routers and compatible handheld routers where the shank diameter and cutter dimensions match the collet and machine capacity. The design supports shaping, grooving and finishing operations on wood and similar materials.

Advantages

The 42-tooth configuration provides a smooth cut and reduced tear-out on the workpiece surface while maintaining reasonable feed rates. A 16 mm shank offers improved rigidity and stability in the collet, reducing vibration during operation. The 80 mm diameter and 5 mm cutting width are suited to producing grooves, profiles and edges with consistent depth and finish across repeated passes.

Suitable for

• Shaping and profiling of solid wood and engineered wood panels
• Groove cutting and slotting in furniture components
• Finish passes to improve surface quality before sanding
• Production work on CNC routers and handheld routers with 16 mm collets

When it may not be suitable

This cutter is not intended for use with machines that cannot accept a 16 mm shank or that have insufficient spindle clearance for an 80 mm diameter tool. It is also not recommended for cutting very hard non-wood materials such as hardened steel or abrasive composites unless the manufacturer explicitly specifies compatibility. For extremely aggressive stock removal in thick materials a cutter with fewer teeth or larger cutting width may be more efficient.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 80 mm
• Cutting width: 5 mm
• Shank diameter: 16 mm
• Number of teeth: 42
• Primary applications: routing, profiling, grooving, finish milling

How to use

Install the cutter into a compatible router collet, ensuring the 16 mm shank is fully seated and the collet nut is tightened to the machine manufacturer's recommended torque. Select appropriate spindle speed and feed rate for the material being processed: higher speeds and slower feed yield smoother finishes with a high-tooth-count cutter, while lower speeds and higher feeds are suitable for thicker cuts. Make test passes on scrap material to confirm settings before machining the final workpiece and use protective equipment and dust extraction when routing.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your router or CNC machine accepts a 16 mm shank and has sufficient clearance for an 80 mm diameter cutter.
• Assess whether a 42-tooth cutter is appropriate for the desired finish versus material removal rate.
• Verify material compatibility—intended primarily for wood and wood-based materials.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use progressive passes rather than removing full depth in one pass. Match spindle speed and feed rate to the wood species and moisture content, and maintain sharpness by inspecting teeth regularly; replace the cutter if chipped or worn to preserve surface quality and reduce load on the router motor.
