The new high performance composite router is designed for more efficient routing of composite materials, in both hand-fed and in CNC applications. Conventional composite routing tools, commonly referred to as “burrs" have a diamond tooth pattern that produces a grinding action more than a cutting action. Therefore, the conventional tools generate large amounts of heat resulting in premature tool failure. The new high performance composite router is a true cutting tool. It cuts the material into distinct chips which remove heat from the cut. Deep cutting flutes increase the chip-flow and aids in dissipating heat resulting in longer tool life. The geometry produces a smooth edge on the material, eliminating secondary operations. In a hand router application, the geometry reduces the cutting force required by the operator. In a CNC router application, higher speeds and feeds can be achieved, increasing productivity and lowering costs.
