Grooving Router Bit – T.C.T. Carbide | D6 mm | S8 mm | Z1

T.C.T. (Tungsten Carbide Tipped) grooving router bit with a single cutting edge (Z1), designed for creating narrow grooves, hardware recesses, and fine details in solid wood and wood-based panels. Cutting diameter 6 mm, shank S8 mm, working depth 12 mm.

✨ TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES:

  • Z1 Cutting Edge – Rapid Chip Evacuation: a single active cutting edge creates large voids for quick material removal from the groove, reducing the risk of overheating at deep cuts.
  • T.C.T. Carbide – Maximum Versatility: the carbide resists wear on both soft and hardwood, as well as on wood-based panels (MDF, particleboard, plywood), with a much longer lifespan compared to high-speed steel.
  • Precision for Fine Details: the 6 mm diameter allows for the creation of narrow grooves, hardware recesses, drawer bottoms, and other precision details.
  • Robust Ø8 mm Shank: the larger shank diameter compared to the cutting diameter provides additional rigidity and reduces vibrations during operation.

⚠️ Important recommendation: make deep grooves in successive passes of 3–4 mm with moderate feed rate. This prevents the bit body from breaking under lateral pressure and ensures a flawless finish.

⚠️ USAGE LIMITATIONS:

  • Do not force the feed rate: excessive lateral pressure can break the bit body – respect successive passes of a maximum of 3–4 mm depth per pass.
  • Carbide on soft wood: requires constant feed rate – pausing in rotation on resinous woods (fir, spruce) can cause local burning due to friction.
  • Not suitable for: operations with intense lateral pressure or large-diameter cuts.

📊 COMPATIBILITY RATING BY MATERIAL TYPE (T.C.T. CARBIDE)

MDF / Particleboard / HDF / Plywood 100%
Optimal: resists the abrasive wear of synthetic binders, clean and precise groove.
Hardwood (Beech, Oak, Ash) 100%
Excellent: carbide resists dense woods, perfectly flat groove bottom.
Softwood (Fir, Spruce, Pine) 80%
Good: works, but requires constant feed rate to avoid friction burns.
Composite & Exotic Materials 100%
Maximum: recommended choice for demanding materials.

🦺 SAFETY MEASURES FOR USE:

  • Mandatory protective equipment: safety glasses (chips projected at high speed), mask or respirator (fine MDF/wood dust), and earmuffs.
  • Successive passes: do not make the full 12 mm depth in a single pass – you risk breaking the bit and projecting fragments.
  • Check collet clamping: ensure that the Ø8 mm shank is fully inserted and correctly tightened in the collet before starting.
  • Maintain a constant feed rate and do not pause the rotating bit at the same point.
  • Secure the workpiece firmly before milling – at D6 mm, any uncontrolled movement of the workpiece can break the bit.
