Router Bit - Butterfly Spline - D=28.6mm H=44mm A=14° L=89.5mm S=1/2"

TCT Router Bits
Each router bit features diamond ground, micro-grain tungsten carbide tipped blades. This tighter micro-grain structure means the blades offer long lasting hardness and superior edge retention. The body of each bit has been turned and then milled with uncompromising precision from a single piece of 4140 high tensile steel to give perfect balance for reduced vibration and therefore smoother cuts. 4140 steel has been chosen because of its toughness, high fatigue strength, and abrasion and impact resistance. The tungsten carbide tips are then brazed onto the bodies using induction to create an extremely strong joint that safely holds under the high stresses that occur when routing. The router bits are suitable for use on softwoods, hardwoods, veneers, laminates and composite materials.

Butterfly Spline Bits
Butterfly spline bits are used to produce butterfly keys and splines from solid woods or man-made boards. The concave butterfly spline provides an attractive option for exposed joints, whilst also aligning and locking the parts together. Butterfly keys are often selected as a decorative option for stabilising big splits in slabs of wood. One pass either side of the material will produce the butterfly spline to the desired width. A 14° dovetail bit (R5773, R5774 & R5775) should then be used to produce the mating groove. For router table use only.

Superior Finish and Performance
The shearing angle of the cutting edges ensure they remain in constant contact with the workpiece to allow a smoother, slicing cut which eliminates tear-out and gives a mirror finish. The bits feature right hook angles which further enhances the cut due to the fast removal of chips. These bits feature an anti-kickback design which limits the feed rate of the material being cut to decrease the likelihood of a kickback, meaning each bit conforms to strict German DIN standards to ensure maximum operator safety. ©
