Ultra-Smooth Cut 1" Surfacing Bit For CNC Router Spoilboard & Slab Flattenning, 1/4 Shank

This ultra-smooth cutting 1 inch surfacing bit is built for higher performance than the standard 3-flute 1" surfacing bit you commonly find. Used in your CNC router to surface or flatten your CNC router spoilboard, as well as slab flattening, the modified cutting angles and added 4th flute result in longer life, higher feed rates and, most importantly, superior smoothness.

  • Made for standard home-based routers
  • 1" diameter, 1/4" shank, carbide tipped
  • Tool library settings are in the description

This 1-inch ultra-smooth cut surfacing bit is used in your CNC router to surface or flatten your CNC router spoilboard (also called a spoiler board, or waste board), as well as slab flattening.

This particular surfacing bit is a redesign of the traditional surfacing bits you'll find for CNC routers to give you much better performance.

  1. The forward cutting angle is decreased so you can achieve much higher feed rates
  2. The grind angle for both the front and the bottom of the surfacing bit is shallower to increase the life of the bit.
  3. Most important, a 4th flute has been added to achieve a superior smooth cut on the CNC wood project piece.

You'll find the surfacing bit is a necessary bit almost immediately after you get your CNC router. This is because most spoil boards (a.k.a waste board or spoiler board) are not parallel to the router motion. So you need a flattening bit to resurface it.

Receiving your new CNC router is exciting. One of the first tasks you will want to do is level up your spoilboard for 2 reasons.

  1. Your projects will out even.
  2. You won't cut into your spoilboard at high spots.

Spoilboard resurfacing is actually a very common thing that has to be done with new CNC routers, as well and reconditioning the surface after it has been cut into many times.

This 1" diameter surfacing bit is made specifically for hobby and semi-professional CNC'ers. It is made to get effective clean-up on your spoilboard in one pass at high feed rates.

To read more about what a spoilboard is, read this article or watch this video about surfacing bit feeds and speeds, or this video about how a surfacing flattening bit can be used.

Dulls quickly

This is my 2nd IDC Woodcraft surfacing bit in less than a year. The 1st one was dull with light to moderate use. The should be a service to return and sharpen these, refund or replacement.

can't review because I never received what I paid for.

Odd to ask me to review an item that I never received but only paid for.

Better that older bit

Two years ago, I got the starter set from IDC which included an 1 inch surfacing bit but wirh only 3 flutes. It worked pretty well but definitely had dulled. I recently ordered the newest 1" surfacing bit along with some replacements 1/8 bits that i had managed to break. First task for the new but was to flatten my spoil board, followed by a chunk of old growth oak end grain, a cutting board and winebarrel top. Did a good job. Aside from the spoil board, most of my routine flattening are smaller items and I have the Makita router on my MK2 Longmill. I probably won't go for a larger diameter bit until i upgrade to a higher power spindle.
