Solid Carbide Spiral Flute Plunge Bits, 2 Flute, Downcut

Spiral-flute bits combine a shearing action in cutting with an augering action in chip clearance. The shearing action yields an especially clean, accurate cut, while the augering action clears chips from the cut. The ‘Down-Cut’ cuts from the surface down, leaving a smooth edge at the surface. Special unique carbide grade, increased clearance geometry and razor-sharp cutting edges with polished flutes, provide a superior finish and longer tool life, especially in abrasive materials. Great for production settings and excellent for creating grooves and dado cuts in softwood, hardwood, plywood and composite materials. Primarily used on CNC machines and other automatic routers. Can be used with handheld and table-mounted portable routers.
