Material and application
The Onsrud 64-012 is a solid carbide router bit with a 1/8 inch cutting diameter and an overall length of 2 inches. Its Super Spiral O-Flute geometry is engineered for efficient chip evacuation in softer materials. The uncoated cutting edges are designed for clean cuts in aluminium, MDF, plastic and wood.
Who this suits and who it does not
This bit suits CNC operators and woodworkers machining aluminium, MDF, plastic or wood who need upward chip removal from the cut zone. It is not suited for users requiring a down-cut action to hold thin workpieces down or prevent top-surface tear-out. Buyers needing larger diameters or different flute configurations should look at other tooling.
Deciding specification
The 1/8 inch cutting diameter determines the minimum internal corner radius and the width of the kerf this tool can produce. Choose this bit only when the design requires that specific cut width and the machine can accommodate a 1/8 inch shank.

Questions about this item
What collet size must my router have to accept the 1/8 in cutter diameter?
Your router needs a collet that grips a 1/8 in shank, which is the standard size for this Onsrud 64-012 bit.
Can I run this solid carbide bit in an older fixed-base router that only reaches 22 000 rpm?
Yes, the uncoated carbide design works at typical router speeds; just keep the feed rate smooth to avoid chatter.
How do I know the O-flute geometry is cutting cleanly in aluminium or MDF?
Look for a continuous ribbon of swarf and a smooth, burn-free edge on the workpiece — that confirms the super spiral is evacuating chips properly.
