Straight and Spiral Router Bits for Plastic
Cut square slots, pockets, and edges in plastic.
Bits with straight flutes are for general purpose use.
Carbide bits provide a longer tool life and faster cutting speeds than high-speed steel bits. Their extreme hardness 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.
Bits for hard plastic and composites have two shallow flutes for durability when making cuts on hard material.

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.
