All Toolbits

Toolbits are vital aspects of machining as a project or application can’t be completed without them. They are the main part of the machining process as they determine the speed and quality of the work that is done on the machine. They come in various shapes and sizes to give users a tailored tool for their individual project requirements. This gives you a precise cut for your application, suiting a wide range of industries and uses for toolbits.

Explore our wide collection of toolbits that are available in different shapes to suit your needs and a range of sizes for a particular cut. We provide square, round and rectangular toolbits depending on your project and use. Each shape allows for various tasks and difficulties, from easier applications to more intricate designs. You can be sure to find a toolbit suited to your project and application at Rennie Tool.

Understanding toolbits

Toolbits are essentially a non-rotary cutting tool that is an essential part of a whole host of machining processes. They do not spin, unlike rotary tools. Instead, they work by moving in a linear way to cut the materials. A toolbit is a single point cutting tool, meaning they have only one main cutting edge. This is ground down via a grinder to suit the job the tool is needed for. This design gives you a precise cut for various applications. These are typically used in shapers and lathes for many materials.

Grinding the cutting edge on toolbits is paramount. Doing this ensures a sharp edge for a clean and efficient cut. Multiple projects need different angles and shapes on the edge to successfully complete it. Grinding properly maintains the tool and its performance. It also helps to reduce wear which makes it last much longer.

What a toolbit can do

A toolbit has a wide variety of uses when it comes to machining. It can do different functions to help make your project accurate and clean. These uses are:

Shaping workpieces: They are paramount for shaping and finishing metal workpieces. They shape pieces by cutting through materials and various toolbits can complete different machining jobs, such as a lathe that needs high-speed steel bits to turn the piece on its spindle.
Reshape and resharpen: They give adaptability as they allow reshaping and resharpening. Their cutting edge can easily be resharpened when dull, making them gain their high-performance precision again. This can save costs and reduce waste as it lasts longer.
Giving high-performance precision: In machining, it is imperative to have precision. Toolbits can give you just this. Their sharp edges let you cut materials and provide minimal error, leaving you with a clean and sharp finished piece.

Types of toolbits

There is a large collection available of toolbits that all serve a different purpose to suit a wide range of applications. Each type is made with a unique design to suit specific tasks. Common types can be:

Roughing tools and bits: Removes large numbers of materials quickly.
Pointed tools: Gives precise cutting for tighter spaces.
Rotary cutting tool (end mills): Has many flutes for an efficient cut. Perfect for complex shapes and intricate designs.
Utility knives: Ideal for lighter tasks and quick cuts.
High-speed steel toolbit: Can withstand high temperatures without losing hardness and is great for fast applications.
Cobalt bits: Offers more heat resistance. Perfect for very tough materials.

Rennie Tool’s toolbit collection

Our toolbit collection hosts a wide variety of shapes and sizes, allowing you to find the right tool for your specific job. We offer square, round and rectangular toolbits that come in metric sizes and imperial sizes, helping you to understand the sizes no matter which one you work in. They are all HSS toolbits for precise cutting that can withstand high temperatures. As well as this, some of our collection includes a percentage of cobalt to offer you even more heat resistance. These types of tools are designed to handle the toughest of materials.

Our square toolbits come in HSS M2 and HSS M42 types The M2 high-speed steel bits are made from tungsten molybdenum which is ideal for general purposes. They can be used for general machining of carbon, alloy and tool steel types. The M42 HSS toolbit is made from cobalt molybdenum with a high hardness and superior heat hardness. They are suited for tougher materials.

Our round and rectangular toolbits also come in HSS M2 and HSS M42 high-speed steel toolbits. These also offer the same types of applications as our square one but gives you a different shape to suit intricate and complex projects.
