Compression Router SERIES 25 COMPRESSION ROUTER – FOR FINISH MILLING OF CFRP A major challenge in machining with Composite material is preventing separation of material layers during the machining process. By incorporating both a left and right hand helix, the cutting pressure to the center of the work piece is compressed, eliminating the fraying of the material. • A left handed helix directs cutting forces downward in a pushing action, great for holding parts securely against a fixture. • A right handed helix directs cutting forces upward in a pulling action, great for chip evacuation. • The...
