MLCS Spiral Upcut Router Bits An upcut router bit is typically used for cutting materials that produce long, stringy chips or sawdust, such as solid wood, MDF, and plastics. The upward spiral of the bit helps to lift the chips and debris out of the cut, reducing the chance of clogging or burning the material.

Upcut router bits are also useful for cutting mortises, as they can help to clear out the material more efficiently and prevent clogging. However, because the bit pulls the chips and debris up, it can sometimes cause the top edge of the material to chip or splinter. Therefore, upcut bits are generally not recommended for cutting materials that require a clean edge on both sides, such as veneers or laminates.

Will cut faster, smoother and stays sharper longer.

Produces a very clean, fast and accurate cut with minimal chatter.

Upcut spiral helps remove material.

Ideal for making mortise and tenon joints.

Ideal for soft and hard woods, plywoods & composites, laminates, plastics and some non-ferrous metals.
