Straight and Spiral Router Bits for Aluminum
Also known as O-flute bits, these have a single open flute for efficient chip removal when cutting aluminum. Use them to create square slots, pockets, and edges.
Bits with straight-flutes are for general purpose use.
Spiral-flute bits make plunge cuts more easily than straight-flute bits and leave a smoother finish. Spiral-flute bits with upward chip removal lift chips up for applications that require a smooth finish on the bottom edge of the cut. Securely clamp the workpiece before routing to prevent lifting. Spiral-flute bits with downward chip removal push chips down for applications that require a smooth finish on the cut's top edge.
High-speed steel bits can be used with hand tools, router tables, and CNC machines. They do not have a pilot, so guide your router along a straight edge when hand routing to make accurate cuts.
Carbide bits have a longer life and faster cutting speeds than high-speed steel bits. Their extreme hardness makes them brittle, so they’re not recommended for use with hand tools. A highly rigid setup, such as a CNC machine, is necessary to keep bits from breaking.

Flush-Trimming Router Bits
Cut layers of material flush to one another or make cuts along a template. All bits have a pilot to guide cuts.
Pilot location describes the position of the pilot when the bit is used for hand routing. The pilot location is reversed when using the bit with a router table.
Bottom-pilot bits trim material from an upper layer of the workpiece so that it is flush with the layer below. In addition to flush trimming, they can be used to cut along a template placed below the workpiece. Micrograin carbide and diamond-tipped carbide bits are for use on aluminum.

Ball-End Router Bits
For smooth contour carving in wood, plastic, and aluminum, these bits have a ball-nose design. All are made of solid carbide for a long tool life and fast cutting speeds. The extreme hardness of carbide bits means they are brittle, so they're not recommended for use with hand tools. A highly rigid setup, such as a CNC machine, is necessary to prevent the bit from breaking. The spiral flutes pull chips up from the workpiece while making cuts; securely clamp your material before routing to prevent lifting.
