0.0315" (0.80mm) x .197" LOC Kyocera Diamond Flute PCB Router, Fish Tail, 1/8" Shank | R105

R105 Kyocera diamond flute PCB router features a 0.0315" (0.80mm) cutting diameter, .197" (approximately 5.00mm) length of cut, 1/8" shank, and 1-1/2" overall length. This uncoated solid carbide router is designed for precision routing, profiling, and trimming of printed circuit board laminates and abrasive composite materials.

The diamond-cut flute geometry uses multiple small, intersecting cutting edges to provide a fine, controlled cutting action. This multi-edge pattern is well suited to routing FR-4, G10, fiberglass, and phenolic laminates, where minimizing edge chipping, fiber pull-out, and delamination is important.

Its fish tail tip is designed for PCB outline routing and profile cutting, while the up-cut configuration helps direct machining debris away from the cutting area. The .197" LOC provides approximately 5mm of cutting length for narrow slots, detailed contours, and routing operations requiring additional cutting reach.

Typical Applications

• PCB outline routing and profiling
• FR-4 and G10 fiberglass laminate machining
• Phenolic laminate trimming and contour cutting
• Precision slots, narrow contours, and small cutouts
• PCB depanelization and prototype work
• Fine-detail CNC routing of suitable abrasive composites

Key Features

• 0.80mm cutting diameter: Suitable for narrow slots, miniature profiles, and fine-detail routing.
• .197" length of cut: Provides approximately 5.00mm of cutting length for suitable routing depths.
• Diamond flute geometry: Fine, multi-edge cutting pattern suited to abrasive laminates and composites.
• Fish tail tip: PCB-routing tip geometry for controlled outline and profile cutting.
• Up-cut direction: Helps evacuate machining debris from the cutting zone.
• Solid carbide: Provides rigidity and wear resistance for precision routing applications.
• 1/8" shank: Compatible with properly sized precision CNC spindle collets.
• Kyocera manufacturing: Precision carbide tooling for PCB and industrial routing applications.

Machining Recommendations

For best results with this small-diameter router, use a precision spindle and properly sized collet, minimize spindle runout, and secure the workpiece firmly. Select appropriate feeds, speeds, and cutting depths for the material being machined. The .197" cutting length provides additional reach, but the slender cutting section requires care to avoid excessive side loading, tool deflection, and breakage.

Important: Diamond flute refers to the multi-edge cutting geometry, not a diamond coating. For extended tool life when machining highly abrasive materials such as carbon fiber, consider diamond-coated tooling.
