P80307A 3/8 3/8 3/4 3 100-250 18K 1.5x 150-300 18K 2.5x C.E.L. − Cutting Edge Length. The distance from the cutting end of the bit
to the furthest cutting edge of the bit, and the maximum cutting depth of the
P80340A 1/4 1/16 1/4 2 20-35 18K 1x 35-60 18K 2x bit. Using a bit that is too long increases your chance of breaking the bit due
to chatter or wobble.

C.E.D. − Cutting Edge Diameter. The width of the bit at the widest point of
P80342A 1/4 3/16 5/8 2 90-150 18K 2.5x 100-200 18K 3x the cutting edge. This is used to determine the size of the hole that will be
created by the bit.
P80343A 1/4 1/4 3/4 2 1/2 125-200 18K 3x 100-200 18K 3x
O.A.L. − Overall Length. The total length of the bit from cutting edge to the
Hard Plastic P80344A 1/4 1/8 1/4 2 Hard 80-120 18K 2x 120-160 18K 2x end of the shank. If a bit is too long, it may not provide the proper clearance
HPF Foam for hovering over your materials during non-cutting moves.

Shank Diameter − The width of the section of the bit that your collet
P80346A 1/4 1/4 1/2 2 125-200 18K 2x 125-200 18K 2x holds onto. Make sure you have the correct collet or adapter sleeve for this
dimension.
P80347A 1/4 3/16 1 1/8 2 1/2 60-140 18K 2.5x 80-130 18K 4x
Shank Length − The length of the bit section that the collet holds onto.
P80348A 1/4 1/8 1 1/8 2 1/2 40-100 18K 2.5x 60-110 18K 4x
Flute − The negative area where cut chips can collect and be channeled
P80370A 1/4 1/4 1 1/2 3 80-150 18K 3x 100-180 18K 4x out of the cutting area. The shape and direction of the flute will determine the
discharge direction of the chips during removal.

The feed speeds and depths per pass are recommended based on specific materials tested by Gerber.
All materials and manufacturers vary and may require reduced feeds and speeds.
