To start of the description of this tool, this tool is Backed by a Lifetime Guarantee.

Our Professional Blade-Changeable Surfacing Bit is designed for surfacing MDF spoilboards, flattening large areas of material, and carrying out general skimming and levelling operations on CNC routers. Whether you are re-surfacing a spoilboard, machining wide panels, planing large natural wood slabs, or flattening timber such as live-edge boards and tree stumps, this cutter delivers consistent material removal and a clean, flat finish across the full cutting width.

Built for long-term professional use, the cutter features replaceable tungsten carbide blades, allowing the tool to last a lifetime. When the inserts become blunt, they can simply be replaced, restoring performance without the cost of a complete new cutter. This makes it an extremely cost-effective solution for workshops that rely on regular surfacing operations.

The cutter is also an excellent choice for machining one-piece shaker doors, where flatness, accuracy, and surface quality are critical. Compatible with virtually all materials — including softwoods, hardwoods, MDF, plywood, and more — this tool will skim them with ease. There is no need to worry about spindle speed, feed rate, or depth of pass; we create bespoke cutting parameters for every order, tailored to the materials you cut and the CNC machine you use. Once your order is placed, we will be in touch to ensure your settings are optimised for reliable, professional results.

Why don’t we charge extra for bespoke parameter graphs, tailored advice, and lifetime cnc support? correct cutting data and expert support aren’t optional — they’re essential. every tool is backed by real-world cnc experience to ensure reliable results, better finishes, and longer tool life from day one. we focus on long-term trust, not short-term upsells.

What do our verified buyers say?

Verified buyer - Mark Thompson, Sheffield ★★★★★


✓ After repeated issues with cutters snapping under conservative settings, these have been a breath of fresh air. Stable, predictable, and no sudden failures. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into the geometry, the bespoke parameter graphs offered upon ordering were a game changer, they really helped with my confidence, they actually took the time to understand my situation properly and didn’t just treat it like a one-size-fits-all thing, which I really appreciated.

Verified buyer - David Wilson, Derby ★★★★★


✓ What stood out immediately was how controlled the cut felt. No grabbing/pulling of the material, no burn out, and no material tear out. The tool behaves exactly as you’d expect when feeds and depths are completely bespoke to you.

Verified buyer - Paul Anderson, Nottingham ★★★★★


✓ Ran various tools purchased from Router Bits on my Opus Olympus 1325 3-axis CNC with the parameters I was provided the difference was obvious. Clean cuts, consistent behaviour, and zero drama. That reliability is invaluable, definitely found my tool supplier for my busy fitted furniture workshop for the foreseeable.

Verified buyer - Steve Brown, Coventry ★★★★★


✓ Ordered for next-day delivery just before the cut-off at around 1:45pm
(Next-day delivery cut-off is 2 pm) and the tool was on the bench the next morning. When you’re working to deadlines, that level of reliability makes a real difference, I have ordered with Router Bits a few times with next-day shipping and they don't ever seem to fail me!

Verified buyer - James Carter, Bath ★★★★★


✓ I had a couple of questions about cutting settings after receiving my bespoke parameter graph. They’d taken into account my limited CNC experience, the machine I’m using, and the materials I’m cutting! I got clear, knowledgeable answers within a couple hours, and it’s obvious the aftercare is genuinely bespoke and actually about helping people get the best out of the tools, not just ticking a box.

Verified buyer - Andrew Sebastian, Buckinghamshire ★★★★★


✓ From ordering through to using the cutter, everything felt well thought out. Fast and accurate delivery, sharp cuts, and proper aftercare — exactly what you want from a serious tool supplier. I also wanted to mention that i cut a lot of birch plywood, birch being a very dense material is notoriously known for blunting cutters quickly, i just wanted to note Router Bits selection of bits have lasted better than any other British tool suppliers tools i have tried in my 35+ years of being in this industry.

Verified buyer - Henry Caldwell, Bath ★★★★★


✓ The bespoke parameter guidance is a standout. Having cutting data tailored to your setup takes all the guesswork out and gives real confidence when starting a job, I'm fairly new to using a CNC so it was a complete game changer.

Verified buyer - Simon Pembroke, Cheltenham★★★★★


✓ These tools genuinely feel engineered for precision. I ordered a 6 mm compression cutter and the shank was bang on 6 mm, right down to the decimal. That should be standard, but in reality a lot of compression cutters from UK suppliers aren’t always dead on the size they claim to be. The consistency, combined with proper support, makes them easy to trust for repeat purchases.

Verified buyer - John Mitchell, Oxford ★★★★★


✓ Next-day delivery worked exactly as advertised, which meant no downtime and no rescheduling work. Everything arrived ready to use, we had a exhibition stand due to be built in ExCel, London on the Monday, ordered the tools at around 12:30pm on the Thursday & arrived mid day on the Friday ready for a hectic weekend of CNC cutting ready for installation of the job on the Monday! Accurate next-day delivery is not something you see in recent times with most tool companies.

Verified buyer - Richard Collins, York ★★★★★


✓ It’s rare to find a company that backs durable tooling with genuinely helpful support. That combination is what earns repeat business, and this has delivered on both. Please don't ever stop delivering your services!
