Tools for Routing Stainless Steel


Onsrud Cutter said it has developed a line of tools that are capable of running at high spindle speeds while providing good tool life to solve the problem of cutting stainless steel on a high-speed CNC router.
The combination of cutting geometry and coating allows stainless steel to be routed for sign, exhibit, and general sheet applications.
The solid carbide tools are available in 0.125-in., 0.1875-in., 0.250-in. and 0.375-in. diameters and can be run at spindle speeds from 6,000 rpm to 18,000 rpm.
