Need Colex Compatible bits for 10mil Coro

[tedbragg]

I was talking to someone here a few months back about this (and like a dummy I lost his store links) for bits routing 10mil coro. Running the 5HP router on a 5x10 Colex SharpCut.

I have a couple of Gator bits that ::work:: but the edges are a mess. Any suggestions or links I can buy from?

I use the 500 bit. Works great.
If you are cutting parallel to the flutes you can use the universal knife. Much faster, but never cut across flutes with it.

Belin 13317A, or the .25" variant 13317.

If you don't mind, what feed rate, rpm, and pass depth do you use with this bit? I wish Id seen this thread yesterday. I actually had to router out a ridiculous double sided 10mm coro sword I think someone ordered for halloween and tried a few bits and settings and couldn't get a clean edge... I have a 500 but didn't try it.

Spindle speed: 10,000
Feed: 300
Plunge: 50
Single pass
Standard cut(counter/anti clockwise).

There are usually a few tiny scraps of plastic i have to pull off by hand, but very minimal.

Do you guys not have a cheat sheet? All I did is go down the list and find the first bit that was "strongly recommended" for hard and soft plastic. Then I messed with the setting until I got a good cut. There are a few bits that will probably work just as well. I'll go ahead and post it so you can reference it if you need it.
Also, I went ahead and cut a tiny bit off a scrap sheet of 10mm corro I had laying around so you can see they type/quality of cut you should expect. You can see it beneath the cheat sheet.
