1/2” Down Cut x 1 5/8” CL x 1/2” Shank 3 1/2” Overall MaxLife® Coated 2 Flute Router Bit

Maximize Your Woodworking Projects with the 1/2” Down Cut Router Bit

1/2” Down Cut x 1 1/4” CL x 3/8” Shank 3” Overall MaxLife® Coated 2 Flute Router Bit

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.

Coated tooling: coatings further extends tool life by reducing damaging effects of heat and oxidation that occurs during cutting operations. Highly recommended for MDF, chipboard with melamine, laminates, veneered plywood, and many plastics

• MaxLife® coating is a micro-thin ceramic coating which enables the tool's cutting edge to retain crucial sharpness and lubricity. This provides longevity and produces cutting results of the highest quality.
• Coating prevents high heat and oxidation which is detrimental to cutting tool performance.
• MaxLife® offers approximately 5,000 Vickers for impressive solid hardness on cutting areas of the tool, for an increase up to 5 times compared to uncoated bits.
