Helical Router Bits in HW and HWM
Wirutex offers numerous versions and types of upcut and downcut spiral bits in HM (HW) and solid HM (HWM) for CNC machining centres and point-to-point boring machines. The helical cutters are differentiated by the different number of cutting edges (Z) and by the inclination of the cutting edges: positive or negative, with or without chipbreaker. Number of cutting edges and type of inclination must be assessed based on the desired degree of finish and the material being processed.
The Wirutex range includes:
- Helical cutters with positive cutting edges Z=1
- Helical cutters with positive cutting edges Z=2
- Helical cutters with positive cutting edges Z=3
- Helical cutters with positive cutting edges Z=3 with chipbreaker
- Helical cutters with negative cutting edges Z=2
- Helical cutters with negative cutting edges Z=3
- Helical cutters with negative cutting edges Z=3 with chipbreaker
- Helical cutters with positive and negative cutting edges Z=1+1 and Z=2+2
- Helical cutters with positive cutting edges Z=3 for locks
Positive helical router bits Z=1
Upcut spiral bits, with positive cutting edges and solid tungsten carbide body. For contouring, sizing and profiling on CNC machining centres and point-to-point boring machines. Suitable for machining operations on hardwood and wood composites, laminated and plastic materials.
Design
- Solid tungsten carbide (HWM) body
- 1 positive helical cutting edge in tungsten carbide (HM)
- Chips discharged upwards
- Improved finish on lower side of workpiece
Positive helical router bits Z=2 for finishing
Upcut spiral bits, with positive cutting edges and solid tungsten carbide for CNC machining centres and point-to-point boring machines. Ideal for finishing operations, but also for contouring, sizing and profiling solid wood and wood composites, laminated and plastic materials.
Design
- HWM body
- 2 positive helical cutting edges in HW
- Chips discharged upwards
- Improved finish on lower side of workpiece
Negative helical router bits Z=2 for finishing
Downcut spiral bits, with negative cutting edge and body in solid tungsten carbide for CNC machining centres and point-to-point boring machines. Ideal for finishing operations, but also for contouring, sizing and profiling solid wood and wood composites, laminated and plastic materials.
Design
- HWM body
- 2 negative helical cutting edges in tungsten carbide (HM)
- Chips discharged downwards
- Improved finish on upper side of workpiece
Positive helical router bits Z=3 for finishing
Helical cutters with positive cutting edges and solid tungsten carbide for CNC machining centres and point-to-point boring machines. Ideal for contouring, sizing and profiling solid wood and wood composites. Optimal finish of the machined surface.
Design

Positive helical router bits Z=3 with chipbreaker
Helical cutters with positive cutting edge chipbreaker for CNC machining centres and point-to-point boring machines. For contouring, sizing and profiling solid wood and wood composite panels. Ideal for roughing.
Design
- HWM body
- 3 positive helical cutting edges in HM with chipbreaker
- Chips discharged upwards
- Improved finish on lower side of workpiece
Negative helical router bits Z=3 with chipbreaker
Helical cutters with negative cutting edge chipbreaker for CNC machining centres and point-to-point boring machines. For contouring, sizing and profiling solid wood and wood composite panels. Ideal for roughing.
Design
- HWM body
- 3 negative helical cutting edges in HM with chipbreaker
- Chips discharged downwards
- Improved finish on upper side of workpiece
Positive and negative router bits edges
Up-Downcut spiral bits, with positive and negative cutting edges to achieve an optimal finish on both sides of the panel. These are used on CNC machining centres and point-to-point boring machines. For contouring, sizing and profiling hardwood and wood composites, laminated and plastic materials.
Design
- HWM body
- 1 positive and 1 negative helical cutting edge in HM (Z=1+1)
- 2 positive and 2 negative helical cutting edges in HM (Z=2+2)
- Excellent finish on both sides of the workpiece
