Spiral-flute bits combine a shearing action in cutting with an augering action in chip clearance. The shearing action yields an especially clean accurate cut while the augering action clears chips from the cut. The ‘Up-Cut’ shears from the bottom up pulling chips from the bottom up thus allowing deeper penetration with less stress on the tool. An excellent choice for mortising.

Upcut bits are the go to choice where having a clean bottom surface or getting maximum chip evacuation is most important. The up cut action of the bit pulls the chips up and out of the cut allowing for maximum chip evacuation. Because the chips are being pulled up this will result in a clean bottom edge of the cut

For lettering, engraving, signmaking, fluting and decorative trimming. Note: Due to very fine plunge point, bit is not guaranteed against breakage.
