Midwest carries a complete range of solid carbide router bits or PCB routers as they are more commonly known. PCB router bits are used for machining high tech composite materials. Whether you are routing printed circuit boards, insulating parts, or de-panelizing PCB’s or trimming carbon fiber helmets we have the right style and diameters to get the job done.
Some of the many materials these PCB router bits excel at machining are: G10 epoxy fiberglass, “Garolite”, FR4, Phenolic, Polyamide, G11, Carbon Fiber laminates, paper or glass cloth-based composites, ceramics and more, either with or without copper cladding.
Typically they are used in CNC equipment with high speed spindles Many of these tools are used on equipment made by Excellon, Cencorp, ASYS, Precision PCB, Kenard, Paul Dozier, Sayaka, JOT, OZO, Autolink, Seika Machinery, Techno and ATI Depaneling Routers. Alternatively they are used in manual mills and in hand held spindles such as Dremel’s as trimmers.
Diamond cut router bits are the traditional style for routing PCB’s and epoxy glass laminates. They offer long life excellent finish and good productivity.
Chipbreaker style are used when higher federates are called for and for certain “softer” materials that benefit from the multi-fluted design.
We carry the extended length 2” Overall length routers for use when depaneling PCB’s that have tall components. Typically most of our routers are of the “Updraft” variety that causes the chips to lift for evacuation into a vacuum receptacle. We also offer the downdraft (down cut) variety as well. Note that the downdraft routers have a “DD” at the end of their part number.
All of our PCB Router bits are available with the plastic set rings at no additional charge. Please specify the set ring option when checking out.
Call us with your application; we can suggest the right tool for the task at hand.
All of our routers are available with the plastic “Tool Set Rings” at no additional charge. The end style of our routers are either Drill Point (DP) or Fish Tail (FT) design. Not sure of what you want? Give us a call or contact us thru e-mail. As standard our Diamond Cut Routers are supplied as an “Up Cut” also known as Up Draft design. We also offer them with a “Down Cut”, Down Draft geometry. The Down draft tools have a “DD” designation on the part number as well as a DD suffix on the end cut style. Remember if you want set rings just tell us in the comments section during checkout. If you don’t see a size or style of tool that you are searching for give us a call or send us an e-mail. What you see online is only a portion of what we carry.
