Klein Slotting / Grooving Router Bit - 8mm Shank, 4.5mm Groove Cutter
A Klein four-wing T-slot cutter with an 8 mm shank, 41 mm diameter, 4.5 mm cutting width, and 45 mm overall length for compatible groove, slot, channel, and profile-cutting applications in wood, plastic, and aluminum.
The Klein Four-Wing T-Slot HW Cutter C173.045.R is designed for accurate 4.5 mm slotting, grooving, channeling, and profile-cutting operations in compatible woodworking and panel-processing equipment. Its four-wing geometry supports repeatable cutting where a consistent T-slot or groove profile is required.
The tool features an 8 mm shank, 41 mm cutting diameter, 4.5 mm cutting width, 45 mm overall length, four cutting wings, and HW carbide cutting material. Verified Klein material suitability includes softwood, hardwood, aluminum, plastic, plexiglass, and PVC where the machine, feed, speed, and cutting strategy are appropriate.
Confirm toolholder compatibility, cutter clearance, workholding, guarding, dust or chip extraction, spindle direction, maximum RPM, feed rate, cut depth, and material suitability before machining. The cutter must be fully and correctly seated in a precision 8 mm collet or approved toolholding system.
The 4.5 mm cutting width provides a defined groove or T-slot profile for compatible routing applications.
Z4 cutting geometry supports repeatable cutting performance when feed rate, RPM, and workholding are correctly matched.
Verified Klein suitability includes wood, aluminum, and selected plastic materials with the correct machine setup.
Confirm that the router, spindle, collet, and toolholder accept an exact 8 mm shank and provide safe clearance for the 41 mm cutter diameter. Verify tool seating, runout, spindle direction, maximum RPM, feed rate, cutting depth, workholding, guarding, chip extraction, and material suitability before machining. Aluminum and plastic applications require machine parameters and lubrication or chip-control practices appropriate to the material and equipment.
The Klein Four-Wing T-Slot HW Cutter C173.045.R provides a compact professional solution for repeatable 4.5 mm slotting, grooving, and profile-cutting operations. Its 8 mm shank, 41 mm diameter, four-wing geometry, and 45 mm overall length suit compatible routing systems with appropriate clearance and toolholding.
HW carbide cutting edges support work in verified wood, aluminum, and plastic materials when the cutter is correctly installed and operated within suitable machining parameters.
