For routing laminated or veneered plywoods when top and bottom finish is critical. Upward and downward shearing action prevents chipping of laminates. Unique tool geometry minimizes core furring or pullout in plywood. Also performs well in composite materials such as wood with CFRP laminates. Unique coating was selected after extensive testing on multiple coatings. Minimizes friction, increases edge hardness, and has excellent adhesion. Provides exceptional tool life specifically on nested routing applications.
