Arrow Tooling 2 Flute Down Cut Finishing Solid Carbide Spiral Router Bit

Downcut tools are used when the down shearing effect of the tool is preferred. This tool will produce a clean top edge of a dado type or groove type cut or simply a thru cut where the bottom edge quality is not important. These tools will direct chip flow downward while helping hold parts onto the table or pod. When nest cutting the tool path remains packed with chips which helps preserve maximum vacuum. Never plunge straight down with downcut tooling as this may cause fire or breakage.
