• Polished Flute:

  The single-flute design of an O-flute bit has a highly polished surface. This creates a low-friction cutting edge that minimizes contact and heat, which is essential for preventing melted plastic from adhering to the bit. 
  
  

  • Popular solid surface materials suitable for O-flute router bits include acrylic, solid surface composites (like Corian), laminates, PVC,polycarbonate, and other plastics such as ABS,Nylon, and UHMW. O-flute bits are designed to reduce heat and prevent melting in these materials by providing fast chip evacuation, leading to cleaner and smoother cuts, especially on the bottom surface of the material. 

  O-flute bits are also well-suited for:

  • Acrylic (Cast Acrylic): A very common plastic for O-flute bits. 
  • Polycarbonate: A common choice for O-flute cutting. 
  • High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE): A versatile plastic well-suited for O-flute bits. 
  • Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC): O-flutes work well on PVC. 
  • Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW): O-flute bits are effective for this and similar plastics. 
  • Nylon: O-flutes can effectively cut nylon materials. 
  • Acetal (POM): This material is also cut well with O-flute bits.
