Router bit GRAPHITE 56H201 — single pack (1 pc)

GRAPHITE 56H201 router bit supplied as a single pack (1 pc) is a single-flute cutter designed for precision machining of wood, PVC and chipboard. The cutter head is fitted with a sintered carbide cutting plate for improved wear resistance and consistent cutting performance. The tool is intended for use with compatible routers and trimmers and serves as a direct replacement or spare bit for tasks that require a small-diameter, single-flute router bit.

Advantages

The single-flute geometry reduces chip clogging and improves chip evacuation when working with soft and composite materials, while the carbide cutting plate provides longer life compared with standard high-speed steel. The compact working part, combined with an 8 mm shank, offers stable clamping in common router collets and supports precise machining of narrow grooves and profiles. Supplied as a single piece, the bit is convenient to replace and keep as a spare for on-site or workshop applications.

Suitable for

• Cutting and grooving in solid wood and softwoods
• Machining PVC and plastic trims
• Processing chipboard and melamine-faced boards
• Small-diameter profile work and slotting tasks

Key specifications

• Cutter type: single flute
• Cutting material: sintered carbide cutting plate
• Working diameter: 3.96 mm
• Cutting height: 11 mm
• Shank diameter: 8 mm
• Pack quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Secure the 8 mm shank firmly in a compatible router or trimmer collet and ensure the tool is correctly tightened before switching on. Select a suitable spindle speed and feed rate for the material being machined; lower speeds and moderate feed reduce heat build-up when working with plastics and laminated boards. Make successive shallow passes rather than a single deep cut to achieve a clean edge and prolong the life of the carbide plate. After use, clean chips and dust from the cutting edges and store the bit in a protective holder to prevent damage.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye and hearing protection, and clamp workpieces securely. Avoid excessive lateral forces and do not use the bit on hardened materials or metals. Inspect the cutting edge periodically and replace the bit when signs of wear, chipping or reduced cutting quality appear.
