Down spiral router bits excel at producing clean top edges and are ideal for materials prone to tear-out, like plywood or veneers. They achieve this by pushing wood fibers and chips downward, minimizing splintering or chipping on the top surface.

Unique carbide for longer lifetime in abrasive material. Designed for CNC applications requiring high feed rates and a clean finish.

Excellent for cutting:
 
  • Laminate
  • Laminated Plywood
  • Melamine
  • Melamine Particle Board
  • MDF/HDF
  • Oriented Strand Board (OSB)
  • Particle Board
  • Softwood/Hardwood
  • Veneered Plywood

Our spiral bits are made of a submicron carbide specially designed for use in cutting tools for highly abrasive machining applications and wear components.

With a 6% cobalt binder and 93 HRA hardness, grade HB-3 is well-suited for wear parts and cutting tools being used in non-ferrous, machining applications. It offers a homogenous microstructure and uniform grain distribution.
