Low Helix Compression Finishing Bit

Design:

• 2 precision ground cutting edges
• Excellent chipflow and lower heat retention is achieved by the semi-polished flutes
• Increased cutting edge durability from special submicron, extended life carbide
• 10° helix design with bottom cutting capability
• Low helix design reduces deflection in hard materials and lifting forces

Applications:

• For exceptionally smooth finishing cuts
• Increased cutting edge life when frequently accelerating/decelerating or performing multiple passes
• Improved cutting edge life when cutting hard materials
• Reduces noise levels during cutting operations of hard materials
• Ideal for plywood panels
• Eliminates chipping, fuzzing, and tear-out when the end of the up-cut and down-cut cutting edges are more than 1/16" from the top and bottom surfaces
• When cutting rebates, dados, or pockets, use an up-cut length that is at least 1/16" shorter than the shallowest cut
• If part movement is a concern, use an up-cut length of 4.8mm (0.188") or shorter
• When possible, select a router bit with a longer uncut length to improve chip ejection from cutting path
