6 and 8 flute carbide composite finishing routers — more edges in the cut for cleaner composite walls.
- 6 flute on 1/4" diameter (CE-602-08), 8 flute on 3/8" and 1/2" diameters (CE-802-12, CE-802-16)
- High flute count spreads wear across more cutting edges for finishing composite edges
- Three finishes: uncoated, Black Widow DLC coated (-DLC), and Diamond Coated DCC (-D)
- Metric MCE line: 6mm (6 flute), 10mm and 12mm (8 flute), 63-76mm OAL
- 10-20X tool life with diamond coating
- Tolerances: cutting dia -.001/-.003, shank dia -.0001/-.0002, flute length +.030/+.060 (over 0.3125"), OAL +/-.060
- Slotting, side milling, helical interpolation, ramping; dry, wet, cold air, or spray mist

Recommendations are computed starting points based on typical conditions — not guarantees of performance, tool life, or fitness for your application. Machining involves inherent risk: you are solely responsible for safe operation, for verifying every parameter against your machine, spindle, toolholding, workholding, and guarding limits, and for proving all parameters on a test cut before production. RobbJack Corporation assumes no liability for tool breakage, machine damage, scrapped parts, production loss, or personal injury arising from use of these recommendations. By using this calculator you accept RobbJack's Terms & Conditions.
