Introduction
SGS Tool Company introduces the Series 20-CCR Carbon Composite Routers, designed specifically for aerospace cutting applications involving carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials. These routers aim to enhance cutting efficiency and reduce fiber breakout, a common issue in aerospace component manufacturing.

Key Features and Benefits

• Fiber Breakout Elimination: The unique flute structure of the Series 20-CCR significantly reduces and often eliminates fiber breakout.
• Tool Longevity: The design ensures longer tool life, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
• Reduced Cutting Force: Less force is required during cutting, enhancing operational efficiency.
• Delamination Reduction: The routers help in minimizing delamination of the composite materials.
• Versatile Availability: Available in both fractional and metric cutting diameters, with options for end cutting and no end cutting.

Technical Specifications
The Series 20-CCR is available in various sizes with specific spindle speed and feed rate recommendations for both dry and flood coolant conditions. For example, a 3/8 inch diameter router operates at 3,600 - 6,000 rpm with a feed rate of 30 - 60 ipm in dry conditions, and 10,000 - 15,000 rpm with a feed rate of 90 - 120 ipm with flood coolant.

Comparison with Conventional Routers
Compared to conventional routers, the Series 20-CCR provides superior results in terms of edge finish and fiber breakout prevention, as demonstrated in magnified views of tool side edges.

Availability
The Series 20-CCR is exclusively available from SGS Tool Company, located at 55 South Main Street, Munroe Falls, Ohio, USA.
