Kennametal is now introducing a line of Beyond™ solid-carbide KCN05™ routers specifically engineered for successfully machining CFRP. Four router styles are available: • A ball-nose router dedicated for pocketing and profiling • A down-cut style with left-hand flutes that compress fibers as it cuts • A compression-style router with left-hand flutes on the shaft and right-hand flutes at the bottom, which also compresses fibers into the material • A burr-style router with many thin flutes for increased productive cutting Each have unique geometries specifically geared to working in CFRP, but all possess a solid-carbide substrate and HP diamond coating for higher speed capabilities and longer tool life.
