3-flute roughing tools
Vortex Tool’s Series 9000 & 9100 Three-Flute Low Helix Roughing Tools are designed for high-feed rates on CNC routers and are used when surface finish is not important. Ideal for dense materials such as hardwoods and plywood, the Series 9000 roughing tools run quieter and leave less of a “rippled” edge, the company says. American owned and operated, Vortex designs and manufactures a wide variety of standard and custom high-performance router and insert cutting tools for the woodworking and plastics industries.
