0.0197" (0.50mm) Kyocera Chip Breaker Carbide Router 3mm LOC Drill Point 1/8" Shank R148

This Kyocera chip breaker carbide router features a 0.0197" (0.50mm) cutting diameter, .118" (3mm) LOC, 1-1/2" overall length, and a 1/8" shank, making it ideal for precision routing in abrasive composite materials.

The chip breaker geometry uses a segmented cutting edge designed to break chips into smaller pieces, helping improve chip evacuation, reduce clogging, and minimize heat buildup during cutting.
