Metabo Routers and Planers manual Router Bits

ROUTER BITS

PRECISION AT THE EXTREME.

Precision cuts require precision tooling. If you want the best from your router do not sacrifice on the cutters. Metabo cutters are of a high standard, manufactured by tooling specialists with many years of experience and

by machines that can produce repeat profiles time and time again. Metabo router bits will give you what you need to perform clean, smooth, consistent cuts in safety.

Structure and function of Metabo routers

Cutting tools

The specification of the cutting tool material by the manufacturer

is decisive for the quality of the cutter. Only top quality alloys of faultless structural consistence can meet the demands for a long service life. Selection and control of the cutting tools have high priority at Metabo.

HSS-tools

Ideal for use on soft woods, with reasonable life when processing hard-wood. Good price to performance ratio.

HM-routers

Ideal for use on hardwoods, kitchen worktops, and laminate boards. Various HM-qualities are processed and are matched to the cutters main application. Metabo also takes great care in the structural consistence of its hard-metal type cutters.

Shank

The drive shaft of the machine, collet and cutter shaft form a unit.

The more accurate the individual components, the higher the possible accuracy of the router set.

To ensure a safe seat of the cutter in the collet, all cutter-shanks of the Metabo cutters are ground to a tol. of -0.005 to -0.020 mm. The minimum clamping length on each cutter shank is 20 mm and the shank-ends are all chamfered.
