Collection: Chip Breaker Routers

Chip Breaker Routers

Chip Breaker routers use a segmented cutting edge designed to break chips into smaller pieces, helping promote efficient chip evacuation and reduce heat buildup during cutting.

  • Best for: fiberglass, carbon fiber, phenolic laminates, PCB materials (FR-4), and other abrasive or composite materials
  • Also suitable for: aluminum and non-ferrous metals where chip control is critical, such as roughing or slotting operations
  • Why choose it: limits long, stringy chips that can clog the cut path, improving cut stability and tool life in demanding materials
  • Tip options:
    • Fish Tail: often preferred for gentler entry into brittle or layered materials, helping reduce edge chipping and surface damage
    • Drill Point: commonly used where repeated plunging, denser materials, or added tip strength are required
