It has a 0.236 in (6.0 mm) shank, 0.157 in (4.0 mm) cutting diameter, 0.157 in (4.0 mm) cutting length, and 1.968 in (50.0 mm) overall length. If your table runs that Esko part now, the Rs1722 drops straight in. Not sure?

The single O-flute gives chips plenty of room to clear, and the upcut spiral pulls them up and out of the cut. The short 0.157 in (4.0 mm) cutting length keeps the bit stiff for clean edges in thin sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I know this fits my machine?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rs1722 replaces the \u003cstrong\u003eEsko BIT-MUS06-4006-50C2\u003c\/strong\u003e, also listed as G42471722, and has a 0.236 in (6.0 mm) shank. If your Esko or Kongsberg table takes that part, the Rs1722 fits. Not sure?

Rough or fuzzy edges, burrs, melting, or fine powder instead of clean chips all mean it is time for a fresh bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGetting the most from your cutting table\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fresh bit is a good start. But if you are going through bits faster than expected, or edge quality has become inconsistent, the bit is rarely the whole story. Spindle speed, feed rate, depth per pass, material hold-down, and machine condition all affect how long a bit lasts and how clean it cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is worth asking: When was your machine last serviced? Are your parameters dialed in for this material? Is this the right bit for what you are cutting? Could your operators use time with someone who runs these machines every day?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFlatbed Tools offers machine service, preventive maintenance, operator training, and workflow consulting.
