3.175×1.0x4 Spiral Flute Tungsten Carbide Bits
The 3.175×1.0x4 spiral flute tungsten carbide bits are compact single-flute CNC cutting tools for engraving, fine profiling and narrow grooves in acrylic, PVC, MDF, double-color sheet, plywood, selected wood and compatible plastics. A 1 mm cutting diameter supports detailed paths, while the open spiral flute provides space for chip evacuation.
Product specifications
- Shank diameter: 3.175 mm
- Cutting diameter: 1.0 mm
- Cutting length: 4 mm
- Geometry: one spiral flute
- Material: wear-resistant tungsten carbide
Applications for fine CNC work
- Small lettering and detailed sign engraving
- Narrow grooves in acrylic and PVC sheet
- Fine profiles in MDF, plywood and double-color board
- Precision trimming of compatible plastic components
Why use one spiral flute?
A single cutting edge leaves a relatively large flute space for chips. Efficient evacuation helps reduce recutting, rubbing and heat, especially in plastics. Because the cutting diameter is only 1 mm, stable clamping, low runout and controlled engagement are important. Avoid heavy full-width cuts that can deflect or overload the tool.
CNC setup guidance
Clean the collet and 3.175 mm shank before installation. Keep overhang as short as the required reach permits, secure the workpiece and verify clearance around clamps. Begin with conservative spindle speed, feed and depth per pass. Observe chip shape, sound, spindle load and surface quality before adjusting parameters.
Use dust extraction or a machine-approved air system to remove chips. When cutting acrylic or PVC, maintain a feed that creates chips instead of melted residue. When machining wood products, good extraction reduces recutting and keeps the narrow flute clear. Always test a new material on scrap before production.
Tool care and ordering checks
Confirm the shank, cutting diameter, cutting length and overall reach before ordering. After use, remove debris and inspect the edge under good light. Stop if the tool is chipped, bent or producing abnormal vibration. Record successful parameters for repeat work rather than relying on settings from a larger cutter.
Selecting parameters for a 1 mm cutter
Small-diameter tools require lighter engagement than larger router bits. Use shallow step-downs, smooth lead-ins and a toolpath without sudden direction changes. Confirm the programmed feed produces a real chip and does not leave the edge rubbing in one location. If the cut shows melting, fuzz, chatter or dimensional variation, check runout, workholding and chip removal before increasing spindle speed. A short test path in scrap material helps establish a safe starting point and protects the finished sheet.
