Quickly make smooth plunge cuts—the staggered flute design, drill/mill cut style, and carbide coating on these bits let them cut at higher speeds than other router bits. Staggered flutes combine the fast chip clearing and cutting speeds of straight flutes with the smooth finish of spiral flutes. The flute switches sides halfway up the shaft, making the bit more balanced and better at producing clean finishes than standard router bits. These bits have a pointed end, making downward plunge cuts easy.

Made of carbide-tipped high-speed steel, these bits provide faster cutting speeds and a longer tool life than standard high-speed steel bits. They do not have a pilot, so guide your router along a straight edge when hand routing to make accurate cuts.

Drill, mill, and trim with the same bit. The unique shape on these bits was originally used for aircraft panels. They have a pointed end and spiral flutes, like a drill bit, making downward plunge cuts easier than with square-cut and straight-flute bits. The spiral flutes also leave a smoother finish. The flutes lift chips up from the workpiece for applications that require a clean finish on the bottom edge of the cut. Securely clamp your material before routing to prevent lifting.

These bits are made of high-speed steel for general purpose use. They can be used with hand tools, router tables, and CNC machines. These bits do not have a pilot, so guide your router along a straight edge when hand routing to make accurate cuts.
