PCB Router Bits

Midwest carries a complete range of solid carbide router bits or PCB routers as they are more commonly known. Carbide router bits are used for machining high tech composite materials. Whether you are routing printed circuit boards, insulating parts, or de-panelizing PCB’s we have the right style and diameters to get the job done.

Some of the many PCB materials these PCB router bits excel at machining are: G10, “Garolite”, FR4, Phenolic, Polyamide, G11, Carbon Fiber, paper or glass cloth-based composites, ceramics and more, 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 and ATI Depaneling Routers.

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 printed circuits that have tall components.
