Whiteside Spiral Router Bit

Whiteside Spiral Router Bit

Spiral Router Bits are straight bits that have the added advantage of a making a continuous shearing cut with higher efficiency and less tearout. An upcut spiral also allows better chip removal when routing mortises than an ordinary straight bit.

Up-cut spiral bits are excellent for use in a router table where the cutting action itself helps hold the workpiece to the table. They are excellent for cutting mortise and tenons, grooving and slotting.

Down-cut spiral bits help resist tearout on the top of the work surface because the downcut action pushes chips away from the router, making them especially useful for fine finish work with inlays, laminates and veneers.

All bits are two flute, solid carbide.
