The cutting edges of these bits have a shallow angle to carve foam quickly and accurately. With a square cut style, they create slots, pockets, and edges. Their spiral flutes leave a smooth finish and are good for making plunge cuts. 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 a highly rigid setup, such as a CNC machine, is necessary to prevent the bit from breaking.

Bits with upward chip removal lift chips up for applications that need a smooth finish on the bottom edge of the cut. Securely clamp your workpiece in place before routing to prevent the piece from lifting.

Bits with downward chip removal push chips down for applications that require a smooth finish on the cut’s top edge.

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.

With a diamond coating, these bits resist wear when used on ceramics and other highly abrasive material. All have a square cut style for creating slots, pockets, and edges. They do not have a pilot, so guide your router along a straight edge when hand routing to ensure straight, accurate cuts.
