Whiteside RD2074A O-Flute Down Cut Spiral Bit (1/4"SH, 1/4"CD, 3/4"CL)

1/4"SH, 1/4"CD, 3/4"CL

The best bit for plastic projects, made from solid carbide and designed to utilize a shear cutting action to provide a smooth cut. This design will also decrease the build up of material on the cutting edge. The spiral flute outperforms traditional o-flute straight bits by providing the absolute best cut and superior chip ejection.

• TOOL SPECS: Solid carbide, down cut, o-flute spiral with 1/4" cutting diameter, 1/4" shank, 3/4" cutting length, and 2-1/2" overall length for use in routers with a 1/4" collet.
• O-FLUTE: The oval shaped flute allows for rapid chip removal away from the cutting edge, preventing soft materials from sticking or gumming up the cutting edge.
• DOWN CUT SPIRAL: Down Cut Spirals ensure a clean edge on the side of the material closest to the router. Perfect for clean, top edges in handheld routing or CNC applications.
• HELIX: The spiral helix gently sweeps through the material, ensuring clean, crisp cuts while outperforming standard straight bits.
• MATERIALS: Performs best in plastic and aluminums, especially in soft materials where melting is a concern. Also performs well in solid woods.
• MACHINES: Designed for hand-held routers, router tables, and CNC machines in a wide variety of applications.
