One Flute RouterMills®
For use in acrylic, phenolics, soft plastics, brass, aluminum, and soft metals.

Antares RouterMills® have been designed to offer cleaner, faster cuts in a variety of materials at the high spindle speeds typically associated with engraving machines and routers. These tools are available with one, two, or three flutes depending on the material being cut and the size of the tool. These tools will produce a straight walled cut with a flat bottom and work very well for cutting out shapes.

(*) Please note that while RouterMills® are stronger than parallel engraving cutters, a tool sharpened to a 1/16" tip (.060" or 1.5mm) is inherently fragile. Slower feed rates and plunge rates must be used to avoid breakage and prolong tool life.

SpiralFlute® Cutters

Antares SpiralFlute® Cutters are a hybrid between an engraving cutter and a RouterMill®. They provide the same cutting characteristics as a standard engraving cutter while benefitting from the strength of a fluted tool. This extra strength produces a tool that performs exceptionally well in harder materials such as stainless steel. SpiralFlute® Cutters are available in tip sizes ranging from .005" to .060". These tools produce the best results when used with relatively slow feed rates and cutting fluid. SpiralFlute® Cutters also work extremely well ifor engraving brass.

SpiralFlute® Cutters are manufactured from a special grade of carbide that has a metallurgical structure even finer than our micrograin carbide. This carbide provides the best edge retention and sharpest cutting edges, while greatly reducing chipping.
