46270 - Foam Cutting (Solid Carbide Spiral, Up-Cut) Shank (d): 1/4" Diameter (D): 1/4" Cutting Height (B): 2-1/4" Overall Length (L): 4" Direction: Up-Cut Type: Square End Flutes: 2 Ensure your foam projects are milled with unparalleled accuracy detail and clarity. Achieve both precision and depth for foam carving and milling applications. Provides deeper cuts and larger slices with fewer passes in thick materials resulting in improved productivity and less assembly. The up-cut spiral ejects chips away from the workpiece. Excellent for cutting Crosslinked Polyethylene Foam (XLPE) Ethafoam** Ethylene-vinyl Acetate Foam (EVA) Expanded Polypropylene (EPP)* Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Extruded Polystyrene Foam (XPS) Flexible Polyurethane Foam (FPF) Fomex® High Density Urethane (HUD Board) PALFOAM™ Polycarbonate (Lexan™)† Polyethylene Foam** Polylam** Polyurethane Foam *Expanded polypropylene (EPP) is a foam form of polypropylene. **Ethafoam Polyethylene and Polylam are durable flexible closed-cell foams with excellent memory. †Recommendation: Use the slowest suggested feed rates and the shortest bits necessary for cutting and routing Lexan™. For thick material with up-cut chip removal. For 2D & 3D CNC routing applications. Speed and Feed Rate CNC running parameters based on 1 x Diameter depth per pass: RPM: 18,000 Feed Rate: 100 IPM Chip Load per tooth: 0.002" Ramp down Rate: 50 IPM
