Answer This Question
A: Hi Macron, thanks for reaching out! The 25/64 in. Carbide Specialty Key Hole Bit has a total cutting length of 7/16”. The wider groove uses ¼” of this length, so the shoulder thickness can be up to 3/16”.

Answer This Question
A: Thank you for sending your question in! The 25/64 in. Carbide Specialty Key Hole Bit is not an ideal choice for Corian, due to the density of the material.
by|Sep 28, 2021
A: Although IV not used it on corian I don't think there would be an issue with it. I would start slow if your router has a speed control.I'd think a possibility that if to fast the heat could melt the shavings could try and light spray with water as you do it would help.

A: Hi Mike! The Carbide Straight Router Bit can be used to rout Plexiglas, but you will need to take very shallow passes (not more than 1/8” deep per pass). Please make sure to make some test cuts in scrap material to determine the best feed rate to obtain the quality of finish you desire.
by|Sep 28, 2021
A: Yes - just go slow and wear a mask. I've cut plexiglass with a variety of these bits and it worked well

Q:Will this cut brick?
by|Aug 27, 2018

Answer This Question
A: I have zero experience with this bit. I have experience cutting brick. It will cut brick, for a short time. If you can keep a stream of water on the bit and flooding the workpiece, it will work much better. Also depends on the hardness and ceramic make-up of the brick. Bricks are made of a variety of minerals and baked to a variety of hardnesses.
But really, you would want a diamond bit to cut into bricks. A water jet might even work better. Chisel and hammer might be your best bet for small scale work.

A: It might, but it wouldnt last very long! Its for wood. Try some diamond burr bits for a dremel or grinder if you want to etch stone or brick

Q:Can this be used to create a T- Slot that would accommodate and .25" hex bolts?

Answer This Question
A: No. The major diameter is .400 and the minor diameter is .200. Both too small to accomodate a 1/4" bolt. Probably work for a #12 machine screw.

A: I would think so. You may have to run two passes for a little wider clearance for the shaft of the bolt.

A: it could but you would have to make two passes at different depth settings

A: You would about have to make two cuts to get it wide enough for a 1/4 inch bolt. I don't think one pass would be quite big enough so two passes side by side would do it.

Q:Suitable for cutting steel ?

Answer This Question
A: I seriously doubt it ..maybe a top etching at best
by|May 31, 2020
A: What kind of steel and how thick? How deep is the cut going to be?
In general, I'm going to say no. You are going to have problems with the tip snapping off.
With a good mill and oil cooling, you could pull it off... but I would hazard the guess that if you had that equipment you would get an endmill or side-mill cutter and wouldn't by trying to use a router bit!
