Straight and Spiral Router Bits for Wood, Particle Board, and Plywood
Create square slots, pockets, and edges in wood.
Bits with straight flutes are high-speed steel for use 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 ensure accurate cuts. Uncoated high-speed steel bits are for general purpose use. Uncoated Carbide-tipped high-speed steel bits provide a longer tool life and faster cutting speeds than uncoated high-speed steel bits.
Bits with spiral flutes make plunge cuts more easily than straight-flute bits and leave a smoother finish. They're made from solid carbide for the longest tool life and fastest cutting speeds. Their extreme hardness means they are brittle, so a highly rigid setup, such as a CNC machine, is necessary to prevent the bit from breaking.
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.

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.
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.
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.

Straight and Spiral Router Bits for Plastic
Cut square slots, pockets, and edges in plastic.
Bits with straight flutes are for general purpose use.
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 ensure accurate cuts.
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 and soft plastic are for use on most plastic, including polyethylene, polycarbonate, and vinyl. Choose a bit with one flute for a faster cut; bits with two flutes produce a smoother finish.
Bits for hard plastic and composites have two shallow flutes for durability when making cuts on hard material.

Router Bits for Composites
The diamond-pattern flutes and cutting edges produce a fine finish on composite material. Made from solid carbide, these bits offer a long tool life and fast cutting speeds. 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.
Use bits with a square cut style for cutting slots, pockets, and edges.
