Spiral Upcut Downcut Router Bits | Solid Carbide | Eagle America

Upcut Bits provide faster cutting while they pull chips up and out of the work or towards the router. They are excellent bits to use when cutting material in a table mounted router. They hold the work piece to the router. Ideal for mortise and tenon, grooving, slotting or routing deep blind holes.

Downcut Bits cut slower and push chips away from the router to eliminate top surface splintering. Use for pattern cutting or when going completely through the board as it allows clear vision of the cutting line. Ideal for fine finish work such as veneers, laminates, inlays and repairs because they prevent upper edge tear outs. Use Down-cuts for trimming and sizing.

Most bits two flute, Solid Carbide.
