- TypeAngle, Pitch & Slope Locators
- MaterialCarbide
- Clean cuts in foam and soft plastic with O-flute upcut geometry
- Carbide construction resists wear during extended routing sessions
- 3/8 inch cutter diameter suits detailed profiling work
- Upcut spiral clears chips efficiently for smoother finish
- Designed for wood, foam and soft plastic applications
Application Suitability
This Onsrud 52-701 routing end mill is designed for cutting foam, soft plastic and wood. The solid carbide construction and upcut O-flute geometry evacuate chips efficiently in these softer materials. Machinists and fabricators working with non-ferrous substrates will find the tool matched to their primary routing tasks.
Limitations
The cutter is not suited for hard plastics, composites or any ferrous metals. Shops that need to route aluminium, steel or abrasive laminates should select a different tool geometry and substrate. Buyers requiring a downcut or compression spiral for top-surface finish quality must look elsewhere.
Cutter Diameter
The 3/8 inch cutter diameter determines the minimum internal radius and the maximum material removal rate per pass. Verify that your router collet accepts this shank size and that your machine rigidity supports the cutting forces at this diameter before purchase.

Questions about this item
What comes with the Onsrud 52-701 and what else is needed to use it?
The box contains the solid carbide routing end mill itself. A compatible CNC router or hand-held router with a 3/8 in collet is required separately.
Which version of the 52-701 should I choose for cutting foam and soft plastic?
The upcut O-flute geometry is designed for foam, soft plastic and wood, clearing chips upward to prevent melting or re-welding in those materials.
What does the 3/8 in cutter diameter mean when the bit is spinning in my router?
It sets the width of each pass at 3/8 in, so pocketing and profiling cuts remove that much material per pass at the programmed feed rate.
