To read more about what a spoilboard is, read this article or watch this video about surfacing bit feeds and speeds, or this video about how a surfacing flattening bit can be used. It is made to get effective clean-up on your spoilboard in one pass at high feed rates. This 1.5" diameter surfacing bit is made specifically for hobby and semi-professional CNC'ers. Spoilboard resurfacing is actually a very common thing that has to be done with new CNC routers, as well and reconditioning the surface after it has been cut into many times. You won't cut into your spoilboard at high spots.One of the first tasks you will want to do is level up your spoilboard for 2 reasons. Receiving your new CNC router is exciting. So you need a flattening bit to resurface it. The size is 300 x 180 x 12mm (11.81x 7.09x 0.47 in), it is compatible with most 3018 CNC routers on the market. This is because most spoil boards (a.k.a waste board or spoiler board) are not parallel to the router motion. 29.99 This MDF spoilboard is redesigned with scale 1-cm grids and 24 holes to fit most sizes of clamps, which is flexible for your configuration. You'll find the surfacing bit is a necessary bit almost immediately after you get your CNC router. And more flutes means extended tool life, as well. This allows for better finishes with faster cutting speeds. Most surfacing bits only have three flutes. What's more significant is the 4-flute design. Make sure this fits by entering your model number. As far as is it worth milling goes, that’s up to you. It will tell you when it’s pushing too hard. It’s always easy to increase or decrease speed on hand controller. ![]() With the 1-1/2 inch surfacing bit, and a stepover of 90%, the surface work can be done in half the time, and you'll have a much smoother finish due to the broad cutting area. With a 1' bit on plywood I’ve had good success using a feed rate of 400mm/m and a spindle speed of 12000 with a. ![]() However, they do take longer to do your surfacing work. What makes the 1-1/2" surfacing different? Typical surfacing bits for CNC routers are 1" diameter. The IDC Woodcraft 1.5 inch surfacing bit works with all brand CNC machines with a 1/4" collet. The surfacing bit for CNC routers is a super-important bit to have. This 1-1/2 inch surfacing bit, designed for super-smooth cuts, is used in your CNC router to surface or flatten your CNC router spoilboard (also called a spoiler board, or waste board), as well as slab flattening, and prepping your CNC router project surfaces.
