Drill, rout, 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.

Bits with four flutes produce a smoother finish than three-flute bits.
