Router Bit (slot) Proxxon PR29038 — 6.4 mm cutting diameter

Proxxon PR29038 is a slot/edge router bit with a 6.4 mm cutting diameter designed for precision routing tasks. Intended for use with compatible rotary and router tools that accept its shank size, this router bit enables controlled cutting of grooves, slots and dados in wood, laminates and similar materials. It is suitable for fine woodworking, model making and joinery where a consistent 6.4 mm slot is required.

Advantages

This router bit provides a precise 6.4 mm cutting diameter that helps achieve uniform slot width and depth. Manufactured to Proxxon standards, it offers consistent geometry for clean cuts and reduced tear-out when used with appropriate feed rates and speeds. Its design facilitates accurate edge routing and internal slotting in small or detailed workpieces, and it is compatible with a range of rotary and router tools that accept the corresponding shank.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Cutting grooves, slots and dados in soft and hardwoods
• Routing laminate edges and creating slot joints
• Model making and precision joinery tasks
• Small-scale furniture details and cabinetry trims

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 6.4 mm
• Intended materials: wood, laminates and similar substrates
• Tool compatibility: rotary tools and routers that accept the matching shank diameter
• Application type: slot/edge routing for grooves and dados

How to use

Secure the router bit in the collet or chuck appropriate for its shank diameter and verify it is tightened to the tool manufacturer’s specifications. Set the router or rotary tool to a speed suitable for the material being worked — lower speeds for hard woods and higher speeds for softer materials and laminates, within the tool’s safe operating range. Make controlled passes, removing small amounts of material per pass to maintain accuracy and reduce heat and tear-out. Use a fence or guide when cutting straight slots and ensure the workpiece is clamped firmly. After use, allow the bit to cool before handling and clean any resin or debris to maintain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, perform test cuts on scrap material to confirm depth and width settings, use sharp bits and appropriate feed rates, and wear eye and hearing protection. Avoid excessive lateral pressure and overheating; take multiple shallow passes rather than a single deep cut to extend tool life and improve surface finish.
