What This Tool Does
The Onsrud 63-713 is a solid carbide routing end mill designed for hand-tool operation on hard plastics. Its O-flute upcut spiral geometry clears chips efficiently while producing a clean edge in materials such as acrylic, polycarbonate and similar rigid plastics. The cutter diameter is 1/8 inch and the tool carries the Onsrud brand reputation for precision grinding.
When To Choose This Bit
Select this end mill when a straight-flute or downcut bit leaves melted edges or poor chip evacuation in hard plastic sheets. The upcut action pulls swarf upward, reducing heat buildup and the risk of re-welding chips to the workpiece. It replaces general-purpose bits that are not optimised for the specific shear angle and polished flute finish required by abrasive or heat-sensitive plastics.
Check Your Setup First
Verify that your router or spindle accepts a 1/8-inch shank and can run at the speeds recommended for small-diameter carbide tooling in plastic. Confirm the collet or chuck provides full clamping length without runout. Ensure the workholding is rigid enough to prevent vibration, as carbide is brittle and will fracture under excessive side load or chatter.

Questions about this item
What router collet size does the 1/8 in cutter diameter require?
Use a collet or chuck that accepts a 1/8 in shank; the solid carbide bit has no separate shank dimension listed.
How do you secure the upcut O-flute bit in a CNC router without it pulling loose?
Tighten the collet to the manufacturer's torque spec and verify the bit is seated fully; the upcut spiral can lift the workpiece if the hold-down is insufficient.
When should the carbide router bit be replaced during hard-plastic routing?
Replace it when the cutting edges show visible wear, chipping, or when cut quality degrades and feed rates must be reduced.
