The 1/4" down-cutting bit (a.k.a. down bit, down cut bit, downcut bit) is the workhorse of CNC router bits! You will almost always make this the first on your machine. Why?

2 reasons...

  1. The 1/4" down bit removes the bulk of the material in pockets and around letters.
  2. It does all the cutout work for finished projects.

A third reason is, most CNC routers are set up for 1/4" bits, so it is the reasonable go-to for your work. This is why it is standard practice to have two 1/4" down-cutting router bits in the rack.

For these reasons, you want to make sure your 1/4" down cutter is made right & built to last. That's why these are made above industry standards and 100% tungsten carbide.

Carbide is what professional metal machinists use to make complex items like car engines. It stays sharp 50x longer than conventional CNC router bits.

Great tool, a must have!

If you want to limit tear out & splintering during a cutout, this is the bit to have! The folks at IDC have created a tool data base. Download and use that to set up the feeds and speeds when running this bit and you'll be amazed how nice it cuts.
