Cutting capability
The Onsrud 52-700 is a solid carbide router bit designed for clean cuts in foam, soft plastic and wood. Its spiral O-flute upcut geometry evacuates chips upward while shearing the material for a smooth finish. The tool arrives new and uncoated, ready for immediate use in compatible routers.
Material suitability
This bit suits fabricators and woodworkers who need a single-flute cutter for low-density substrates. It is not intended for users who require multi-flute tools for harder plastics, metals or abrasive composites where a different geometry would be necessary.
Cutter diameter
The cutting diameter is 1/4 in, which determines the minimum internal radius and the width of the slot this bit can produce in a single pass. Verify that your router collet accepts this shank size before ordering.

Questions about this item
What router collet size does the 1/4 in cutter diameter of the Onsrud 52-700 require?
The 1/4 in cutter diameter matches a standard 1/4 in router collet, so the bit fits directly without an adapter.
Will the uncoated carbide Onsrud 52-700 dull faster than coated bits when cutting abrasive composites?
Uncoated carbide wears faster on abrasive material, but the O-flute upcut geometry clears chips efficiently to reduce heat and extend edge life.
How can I confirm the upcut spiral is evacuating chips properly during a cut?
Watch for a steady stream of chips ejected upward from the groove; if chips pack the flute, reduce feed rate or increase spindle speed.
