The cross-cut (MX) tooth design is made for general-purpose use and is widely applicable for machining various materials. This tooth type is especially beneficial as it effectively combines fine and coarse cutting abilities, making it excellent for different machining tasks such as surface smoothing, shape formation, or rougher material removal. The MX cross-cut ensures even processing of the workpiece surface, reduces vibration, and increases tool life.
Special tools and techniques are used for machining small angled shapes and surfaces, capable of handling narrow angles and edges with precision. In such cases, pointed routers or tools with fine tooth profiles are often used to accurately shape sharp, small-angle edges. These tools are ideal for workpieces where precise angles and smooth surfaces are critical, such as when creating complex geometric forms or special joints.
