Whiteside Router Bits RU5150CB Chip Breaker Spiral Bit with Up Cut Solid Carbide 1/2-Inch Cutting Diameter and 1-1/2-Inch Cutting Length

Each flute has small serrations to tear up the chips as the bit is cutting through the project. This bit has a feed rate in between that of a roughing bit and a standard spiral router bit. Up cut spiral design provides the best control with hand or table routing pulling the chips up and away from the work material.

• TOOL SPECS: Solid carbide, upcut, chipbreaker spiral with 1/2" cutting diameter, 1/2" shank, 1-1/2" cutting length, and 3-1/2" overall length for use in routers with a 1/2" collet.
• UP CUT SPIRAL: Ideal for smooth finishes and rapid chip removal. Up cut spirals create a clean edge on the side of the material that is farthest from the router.
• CHIPBREAKERS: These spirals have brief interruptions along the cutting edge which allow for stringy materials to be cut into chips without wrapping around the bit or sacrificing cut quality.
• HELIX: The upward cutting action removes chips efficiently, especially in deep cuts. The spiral helix ensures clean, crisp cuts while outperforming standard straight bits.
• MATERIALS: Performs best with hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, MDF, and hard plastics for versatile woodworking applications.
