APEXX Router Bit Adapter – Reverse Thread (US)
The APEXX Router Bit Adapter for Reverse Thread is an Ocean Diamond adapter that lets APEXX router bits run on a machine with a reverse (left-hand) spindle thread. Ocean Diamond builds the adapter family for its router bits so one set of profile bits can be mounted on FLEX routers, Park ProEdge machines, wood routers and other spindles without buying a second set of tooling.
This is the reverse-thread version. It is not interchangeable with the regular-thread APEXX router bit adapters, and it is not the adapter for incremental cutting tips: for an M12 incremental tip on a reverse-thread 1/2 in. Gas spindle use the APEXX Reverse-Thread Incremental Bit Adapter – 3 in., 1/2 Gas to M12. Thread sizes on each end of this adapter have not been published by Ocean Diamond on its public catalogue; confirm the spindle thread with us before ordering.

Who Is This For?
Shops that run APEXX profile router bits and have a machine with a left-hand spindle thread, so the bit tightens under rotation instead of backing off.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "reverse" mean?
A reverse thread is a left-hand thread: it tightens counter-clockwise. Ocean Diamond uses the term for tooling made for machines whose spindle turns the opposite way to a standard right-hand thread.
Will it fit my machine?
Only if your spindle is reverse (left-hand) thread. Ocean Diamond has not published the thread sizes for this adapter, so send us the machine make and model and we will confirm before you order.
Is this the adapter for incremental cutting tips?
No. Incremental tips use the APEXX Reverse-Thread Incremental Bit Adapter, 1/2 in. Gas to M12. This adapter is for APEXX router bits.
Can I use it on a regular right-hand spindle?
No. A reverse-thread adapter will not thread onto a standard right-hand spindle. Ocean Diamond makes separate regular-thread router bit adapters for FLEX routers, Park ProEdge and wood routers.
