Why Choose Spiral Router Bits Instead of Straight Bits?
- Spiral router bits combine a shearing action with an augering action for chip clearance. This dual action not only produces a clean and accurate cut but also efficiently clears chips from the cut area, enhancing the overall cutting experience.
What is Up-Cut Bits
- Features: The ‘Up-Cut’ shears from the bottom up pulling chips from the bottom up thus allowing deeper penetration and rapid cutting with less stress on the tool. Upcut spiral bits are ideal for cutting bottom veneers without tear-out.
- Applications: Best used in applications requiring clean finishes on the bottom surface, like grooving or deep cutting.
- Considerations: Risk to Top Surface: The upward action may damage the top layer, making them unsuitable for projects where top appearance is critical.
What is nACo Coating?
nACo, or nano-composite coating, is a micro-thin ceramic coating applied to cutting tools. Zahyox X-Series bits feature a nACo coating with extreme hardness and heat resistance. With a blue-tinted coloring, nACo enhances their performance and durability in router tooling.
- Sharpness Retention: Maintains cutting edges razor-sharp for precise and clean cuts.
- Reduced Friction: Features an extremely low friction coefficient of 0.25, minimizing tool wear and facilitating smoother operations.
- Heat Resistance: Can withstand up to 900°F, protecting tools from heat damage during intense cutting tasks.
- Enhanced Durability: Delivers a hardness of 3800 HV, which increases resistance to wear and extends 3 times longer tool life.
