Torquata Triple Flute Long Carving Ball Nose ZrN Coated CNC Router Bit 1/4in Shank

Torquata CNC solid carbide router bits are ideal for routing plastics, composite panel and non-ferrous materials. Torquata is your economical entry into quality CNC routing for the enthusiast and professional maker alike.

Torquata triple flute solid carbide long carving ball nose ZrN coated CNC bit

These router bits are made with an extra-long reduced shank section for deeper reach and better chip clearance. This CNC router bit is designed for 2D and 3D CNC profiling and carving in plastic, aluminium & wood. The high-shear ball nose tip cut smooth 2D and 3D contours with reduced stepping while the proprietary ZrN coating (applied by the physical vapour deposition coating process) provides high resistance to wear, sharper cutting edges, extended tool life and less friction and heat build-up. It can tolerate RPM’s up to 60,000 RPM. Adjust your chip load and feed rate accordingly.

Applications

Ideal for 3D carving and precision 2D and 3D large scale carving. Great for deep profiling and dimensional signage. 3D millwork, 2D and 3D contouring, profiling, modelling and pattern making for cabinetry, sign making, furniture making and jewellery mould making. Perfect for model-makers on large 3D milling profiles in abrasive EPS foam and other materials

Materials

• Plastics (ABS, acrylic, HPDE etc)
• Sign foam
• Plexiglass
• Corian
• Polyethylene
• Non ferrous materials
• Wood (MDF, hardwood)
• Wood (Ply & softwoods)

Benefits of Zirconium Nitride (ZrN) Coating

• Creates a harder and tougher cutting edge prolonging the cutting-edge life and helps to prevent the build-up of material in the flutes while cutting
• May operate faster than an uncoated tool

Routing Plastics

All plastics tend to behave differently so attention must be paid first and foremost to heat input, as that greatly impacts surface finish and chip control. Suggested starting spindle speed might be 18,000 RPM, there needs to be some experimenting on the part of the programmer to best find an acceptable finish.
