What is the Trend CraftPro range of router bits?

The Trend CraftPro range of router bits is specifically suited to the needs of the leisure craftsmen and home improvement enthusiast for performance and value.

CraftPro cutters can be used on all man-made boards including medium density fibreboard (MDF) and chipboard, as well as natural timbers and plastics.

Manufacturing processes and materials

Trend CraftPro cutters are made from high-grade alloy steel and precision turned and milled on state-of-the-art multi-axis computer numerical controlled (CNC) grinders and millers.

All cutters have high-quality micro-granular tungsten carbide tips with a highly ground tip face for extra durability and to ensure a perfect sharpness on softwoods, hardwoods, MDF, plywood and chipboard.

The tip is induction silver brazed to ensure cutters withstand extreme impacts.

CraftPro router bits also have a PTFE non-stick coating on the body which prevents resin and heat build-up, helping to prolong the cutter's life. PTFE sprays are also available to prevent resin building up on cutters.

Cutter characteristics

• Large cutters are dynamically balanced to prevent vibration and have up to 3mm thick carbide tips to allow for re-sharpening
   

• Most cutters in the range have ¼” (6.35mm) diameter shanks, although certain popular shapes are offered on 8mm (5/16") and ½” (12.7mm) diameter shanks

• All cutters have extra-long shanks, ideal for router table use
   

• All straight cutters have the bottom cut facility

• All these router bits are laser etched to European standard EN847-1/2. Clearly marked on the shank is the brand name (for traceability), maximum speed, feed type, material grade and collet clamping mark
