✅ Choose the right variant for your project:
HSS M2 Variant (Premium High-Speed Steel):
- Ideal for: Softwood (Spruce, Fir, Pine) or hardwood (Beech, Oak).
- Advantage: Provides the finest wood finish, leaving the surface perfectly smooth, ready for lacquering.
Widia Variant (CMS - Cemented Carbide):
- Ideal for: MDF, melamine-faced chipboard, layered wood, or hard exotic woods.
- Advantage: Extreme resistance to abrasive materials and extended cutting edge life.
💎 Why choose Solgrat router bit for handles?
- Perfect Ergonomics: The profile is designed to provide a comfortable and secure grip.
- Versatility: Can be used along the entire edge length or only on a limited section.
- Dynamic Balance: The body of the router bit is precisely machined to eliminate vibrations, protecting your machine's bearings.
💡 Usage Tip: For an impeccable result on hardwoods, we recommend constant feed rate and, where applicable, a 0.5 mm finishing pass.
✅ Advantages:
➤ Fine, precise, and consistent cut
➤ Easy to resharpen (HSS variant)
➤ Low risk of burning on natural wood
➤ Suitable for traditional woodworking shops and hobby CNC machines
⚠️ Usage Limitations:
❌ We do not recommend the HSS variant for chipboard, MDF, HDF, or very hard exotic wood
❌ For composite materials or demanding applications, choose the Widia insert variant
HSS COMPATIBILITY:
The router bit can be mounted on most standard routing machines, being suitable for both manual work and CNC machines with moderate feed rates.
HSS M2 Compatibility Explanations (%):
• 90–80%: Optimal performance, the router bit works efficiently and durably.
• 79–60%: Good processing, but requires maintenance (sharpening or cooling).
• <60%: The wood is too hard or oily, leading to rapid wear of the HSS M2 router bit.
Recommendation: For exotic or very hard woods, cemented carbide (Widia) router bits would be a more suitable choice.
WIDIA COMPATIBILITY:
Compatibility Explanations (%) for Cemented Carbide (Widia) Router Bits:
• 92–85%: Exceptional performance, the router bit works efficiently, with a long lifespan even under intensive use conditions.
• 84–70%: Very good processing, but minor adjustments may be necessary, such as feed rate or using a cooling liquid to prevent overheating.
• 70%: The wood is extremely abrasive (e.g., very hard species or those with high silica content), which can accelerate cutting edge wear, although durability remains superior to HSS router bits.
✅ Recommendation: For the hardest wood species (exotic, high-density, or rich in mineral resins), Widia router bits are the ideal solution due to their high hardness (85…92 HRC / 1600 – 1800 HV Vickers), offering exceptional wear resistance and high temperature tolerance.
