MCRT17 – Custom Arc Bending Router Bit – R Size & Shank Optional forms a custom-radius groove or curved preparation detail for carbon crystal panels and similar decorative board materials. It is intended for controlled panel profiling where the finished edge or bend detail must be consistent across repeat work.
Applications
- Radius grooves and formed edge details in decorative panels
- Prepared panel-bending lines after the required geometry has been tested
- Repeatable routing with a fence, template or programmed path
Selection and Setup
Confirm that the custom profile is appropriate for the panel thickness and finished detail. Match the shank specified with the order exactly to the collet or holder. Panel construction and surface layers can affect the required depth and feed rate, so make a trial cut before routing finished stock.
Machining Tips
Support the work fully and use controlled passes. Check the groove depth and resulting bend or profile on a sample, then adjust before machining visible pieces. Keep chips clear and stop if the decorative surface begins to chip or fracture.
