A bottom cleaning (surface cleaning) router bit has a wide, flat cutting face that lets you skim a surface level in a few passes. On a CNC router it is the bit for flattening a new spoilboard, truing up a slab or hogging out the floor of a wide, shallow pocket. On a hand router it does the same job in a router sled.
Known as a skimming bit, bottom cleaner and/or surface cleaner, these bits are used for levelling waste boards or hogging material stock. These can be used with handheld routers up to a max 12000RPM.
Suitable for
- Soft wood
- Hard wood
- MDF
- Veneered wood
- Plywood wood
Larger sizes have been superseded with our HERO branded surfacing bits found here
These 22mm and 30mm cutters are on a 6mm shank, which suits trim routers and small spindles. For larger diameters and replaceable inserts see the insert surface planer and spoilboard leveller.
Every size lists a starting feed rate on the product page where we have tested it. For the method behind the numbers read the Feeds & Speeds Guide, or call Adam on 0448 431 833 if you are unsure which size suits your machine.

Chews it up, nice smooth finish
Got this in my router sled to cleaning trenched Half-lap joints currently but have also used it for thicknessing and surfacing Red gum and black butt. It's done a great job of both. Like it and top value.
