Solid carbide roughing spiral tooling is designed for CNC routing where fast material removal and efficient chip evacuation are important.

Prima Tooling supplies and manufactures solid carbide roughing spirals for plywood, hardwood and other dense wood-based materials. These cutters suit applications that require fast, stable machining.

High Material Removal for CNC Routing

The serrated roughing geometry breaks the removed material into smaller chips. This helps reduce cutting resistance and vibration during heavier machining operations.

A roughing spiral leaves a characteristic rippled surface. It therefore works best where the cutter needs to remove material quickly before a finishing operation.

For a smoother final edge, follow the roughing operation with a Solid Carbide Finishing Spiral.

Downcut Roughing Spirals

Three-flute downcut roughing spirals direct the cutting action downwards. This can help reduce splintering on the upper surface of the material.

The downward cutting force can also improve workpiece stability when machining smaller components. Always use suitable workholding for the application.
