This bit is also called an end mill. It is a rotating blade, that cuts hard materials like wood, acrylic, PVC and other materials. The end mill can be a number of different sizes and the speed of the router also changes. A 1/8 inch or 1/5 inch double fluted end mill is common. A CNC router has a table with a positioning system on it. The positioning system can move in X Y and Z. It does this very accurately. The CNC router takes a computer file and reads it into a path to cut. This can be the outline of a letter, shape or pattern. Signs for San Diego uses an “Overhead Gantry System” that is the X and Y are on arms that move above the material to be cut. A Z head with a router comes down and starts the cut.
