It cuts up to 0.433 in (11.0 mm) deep and is built to leave a clean, clear edge on cast and extruded acrylic, with the small diameter holding tight inside corners and fine detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSingle spiral O-flute, upcut\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne large O-flute gives chips the most room to clear, which keeps heat down and stops acrylic from melting and re-welding behind the bit. The upcut spiral pulls chips up and out of the cut.\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 Rs703 has a 0.236 in (6.0 mm) shank and fits Zund router modules that take 6 mm bits.

For other plastics, ACM, or foam, a different bit geometry is the better call. Reach out and we will help you pick the right one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich 700 series size do I need?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rs703 is the 0.118 in (3.0 mm) bit with 0.433 in (11.0 mm) of cutting depth, for fine detail. For general work, the 0.157 in (4.0 mm) Rs704. For thicker sheet, the 0.236 in (6.0 mm) Rs706.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I know when to replace it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatch the edge. When acrylic edges start coming out frosted, chipped, or melted where they used to come out clear, 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. If something is not cutting right, reach out.
