Belin Router Bits (Replacement Guide)

Single O Flute Router Bits

Belin router bits have been around for as long as I can remember. Countless CNC operators have trusted them and used them to complete projects all over the world. Sadly, they discontinued the line. The great news is that there are replacements, so you don’t have to skip a beat.

In all honesty, there isn’t a 1 to 1 crossover from any brand to another. The tools can very similar and even look the same but the makeup of the tool can be different. So, I put together a list of tools where the dimensions are the same but the tools have been proven to work well in the allotted materials. This being said, you may have to tweak the feeds/speeds slightly and I am happy to walk you through the feed rate, spindle speed, depth of cut per pass, direction, etc. to make these not only work as well as the Belin tools did but more than likely, better.

Single O Flute Upcut (Plastic & Wood)

Single O flute upcut bits for plastic and wood are great tools to have in your arsenal. They are my personal favorite tool to cut Acrylic along with some other plastics. If you were like me, the Belin 13317, Belin 13476, & Belin 13635 were must-haves. HERE are the Belin 13000 series equivalents that LMT switched to but look below to see my recommendations.

Single O flute upcut bits for aluminum and ACM are tried and true. They are my go-to tools to cut aluminum, especially 3003 grade, along with any brand of ACM, like “Dibond”.
