0.0945" (3/32") x .430" LOC Chip Breaker Carbide Router, Fish Tail Tip, 1/8" Shank | R168

This Kyocera chip breaker carbide router features a 0.0945" (3/32" / 2.40mm) cutting diameter, .430" LOC, 1-1/2" overall length, and a 1/8" shank. It is designed for CNC routing in abrasive composite and laminate materials where chip control and clean cutting are important.

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.
