Patented TenonCam router bits are only available under License from R & B Tool Supply. The TenonCam router bits are throw away, as sharpening will change the geometry of the bits and render them useless. TenonCam bit life can be anywhere from one to three hundred sheets of material, depending upon the type and quality of the materials being cut.

The following information should be used as a guideline or starting point. Actual Feed Rates (ipm) and Spindle Speeds (rpm) will vary as a result of “contributing factors” such as machine rigidity, horsepower, spindle integrity, vacuum holding power and the quality of the material being cut. In general, solid carbide spiral tooling will perform better at faster Feed Rates.

Feed Rates are measured in Inches Per Minute = ipm
Spindle Speeds are measured in Revolutions Per Minute = rpm
Chip Load is a measurement of the chip size of the material being removed by each flute during a cut.

In general, normal operating spindle speeds are between 10,000 and 20,000 rpm. Usually, the higher the rpm, the cleaner the cut. However, the higher the rpm, the greater the friction generated between the tool and the material. Friction is what causes a cutting edge to become dull. The objective is the correct balance of the fastest Feed Rate at the slowest Spindle Speed within the Chip Load range of the type of material to be milled, that will yield a clean cut, without breaking or prematurely dulling the bit.


1/8” Tool Diameter for Plywood Core Chip Load = .004” to .007”
1/8” Tool Diameter for Particle Board Chip Load = .004” to .007”
   
1/4” Tool Diameter for Plywood Core Chip Load = .011” to .013”
1/4” Tool Diameter for Particle Board Chip Load = .013” to .016”
   
3/8” Tool Diameter for Plywood Core Chip Load = .017” to .020”
3/8” Tool Diameter for Particle Board Chip Load = .020” to .023”
   
1/2” (and larger) Tool Diameter for Plywood Core Chip Load = .021” to .025”
1/2” (and larger) Tool Diameter for Particle Board Chip Load = .025” to .027”



Formulas:

Chip Load = ipm / (rpm x number of flutes)

Feed Rate (ipm) = rpm x number of flutes x chip load

Spindle Speed (rpm) = ipm / (number of flutes x chip load)

Inches Per Second (ips) = Inches Per Minute (ipm) / 60

Meters Per Minute (mpm) = Inched Per Minute (ipm) / 39.374
