0.0945" (2.40mm / 3/32") Chip Breaker PCB Router, 9.5mm LOC, Drill Point, Up-Cut, 1/8" Shank | AP-3

This 2.40mm (.0945") chip breaker carbide PCB router, nominally 3/32", features a 9.5mm (.374") length of cut, drill-point tip, up-cut spiral, 1/8" shank, and 1.50" overall length. Manufactured from solid carbide, it is designed for precision routing of FR-4, G10, fiberglass, phenolic laminates, and other rigid composite materials.

The spiral chip breaker geometry uses interrupted cutting edges that divide chips into smaller fragments during machining. Its up-cut design helps evacuate chips and debris from the cutting zone.

Chip Breaker Geometry and Drill-Point Tip

• Spiral chip breaker: Helps control chip formation and reduce debris accumulation.
• Up-cut spiral: Directs chips upward and away from the cutting zone.
• Drill-point tip: Provides pointed cutting geometry for controlled plunge entry into suitable materials.
• 9.5mm (.374") LOC: Provides cutting reach for board profiling, slots, internal contours, and routing rigid composite sheets.
• Solid carbide: Provides rigidity and wear resistance when machining abrasive laminates.

The drill-point configuration is useful for routing operations requiring controlled entry into the workpiece. Use suitable plunge feeds, rigid workholding, and minimal spindle runout to help prevent tool damage.

Typical Applications

• PCB outline routing and depaneling
• FR-4 and G10 fiberglass laminates
• Phenolic laminate cutting
• Precision slots and internal PCB contours
• Routing rigid fiberglass and reinforced composite sheets
• Controlled plunge-entry applications
• Selected carbon fiber composite routing operations

Carbon fiber and highly abrasive materials: Extended machining of abrasive composites may accelerate wear on uncoated carbide. For demanding production applications, consider a suitable diamond-coated router.
