The CWT/CWX ER66.2C router bit is engineered for high-speed CNC routing of plastics, foam boards, and wood substrates commonly used in signage production, display fabrication, packaging prototyping, and industrial machining environments. Manufactured from high-quality solid carbide, this tool delivers durability, reliable cutting performance, and consistent edge quality across a wide range of materials.
The single O-flute right-hand spiral (upcut) geometry efficiently evacuates chips upward from the cutting zone, helping reduce heat buildup and preventing material re-melting when machining plastics and foam materials. This design supports smooth cutting action, improved chip clearance, and stable machining performance.
With a 6 mm cutting diameter and a 22 mm cutting edge length (CEL), the ER66.2C provides strong cutting stability for profiling, slotting, and through-cut routing operations, particularly when machining thicker materials or deeper profiles.
While the tool can machine certain non-ferrous materials, it is not recommended for regular machining of ACM or metals. For routing aluminum or aluminum composite materials, Rainbow/DLC coated tooling is recommended, which provides improved lubrication, reduced friction, and longer tool life when cutting metal substrates.
Typical production applications include:
Routing acrylic and plastic panels used in signage and displays
Machining PVC and expanded foam boards used in graphics production
Cutting polycarbonate sheets and display plastics
Fabricating foam board signage and lightweight display panels
Routing wood substrates such as MDF and plywood for templates, fixtures, and fabrication parts
Note: 6 mm shank router bits are designed for CUTWORX Apex Plus and Apex M Series flatbed cutters equipped with the 1.8 kW liquid cooled router spindle.
