Key Features & Benefits
- Ball bearing guide — the precision ball bearing rides against the substrate edge or template surface, allowing the cutter to produce a perfectly flush trim without fences or jigs. Essential for curved and irregular edge trimming.
- 2-flute carbide-tipped geometry — twin flutes deliver a smooth, chatter-free cut at practical feed rates. Carbide tips provide the wear resistance needed to stay sharp through production laminate trimming.
- Range of sizes and cut lengths — from 6.35mm (T 8008 B) to 22mm (T 8028 B) diameter; TX/TXX variants offer extended cut lengths for thicker laminated boards. Match the cut length to the substrate thickness.
- Bearing number reference (TB 11) — replacement bearings are available. Refer to bearing number when ordering spares.
When to Use This Bit
Choose the TS 8016 B for trimming plastic laminates flush to substrate edges, template routing of irregular shapes, and copy routing where a bearing-guided flush cut is required. Select the cut length (B dimension) to match the thickness of the laminate or substrate being trimmed — the TS variants are shorter for thin laminates, TX/TXX for thicker boards. Replacement bearing TB 11 available separately.
Pro Tip: For laminate trimming, take the final pass at full speed with a light, consistent feed rate. Slowing down mid-cut causes the bearing to drag and can leave burn marks on the substrate edge.
