Tool Information
The tools supplied in the tool kit are basic tools for average cutting
jobs. As you gain more experience, you may wish to purchase
additional cutters.
The information below may be helpful in your use and selection of
tools.
„
The .25-inch cutter is the strongest cutter supplied and has a
longer cutting edge length than the .125-inch cutter.
„
The .25-inch cutter has a higher surface speed at the outside
edge, creating a higher chip removal rate and a smoother
edge finish.
„
The .25 inch cutter has a 0.75" cutting edge length. Any
material which is thicker than 0.75" requires a router bit with a
longer cutting edge length.
„
The .25-inch cutter creates a .125-inch radius on all inside
corners.
„
The .125-inch cutter creates a .0625-inch radius on all inside
corners.
„
A .25-inch bit may not fit through some openings. If this
occurs, use the .125 inch cutter if possible.
„
You may discover that characters can be cut smaller than the
recommended limits. If a .25
- inch cutter is used, double the
size limit for the smallest characters in each style. If larger bits
are purchased, scale the limitations proportionally for larger
cutters.
