TSL 12 3/8 Down Cut Spiral Router Bit — Aluminium & Non-Ferrous Metals, Solid Carbide
Part No: TSL 12 3/8 | Barcode: 9314350000599 | Product Group: R808
Solid carbide 2-flute down cut spiral router bit, 3/8″ cutting diameter and 3/8″ shank, for aluminium and non-ferrous metal routing. The down cut helix keeps the top surface clean and burr-free — the preferred geometry for laminate trimming, ACP through-cutting, and aluminium profile routing.

Key Features & Benefits
- 3/8″ diameter and matching 3/8″ shank — larger shank provides increased rigidity for clean, vibration-free cuts at higher feed rates in aluminium profiles and sheet.
- Down cut spiral — directs chips down, preventing burring on the top surface of aluminium workpieces.
- Solid carbide — hard enough to resist aluminium’s abrasive oxide layer through sustained cutting operations.
When to Use This Bit
Choose the TSL 12 3/8 where a 3/8″ diameter groove or through-cut is required in aluminium or laminate, and top-face finish quality is important. The 3/8″ shank gives more stability than the 1/4″ shanked TSL 8 for longer cuts in harder aluminium alloys. Always use cutting fluid with aluminium routing.
