A downcut bit is the perfect choice for cuts where having a clean top surface. The down cut action of the bit cuts from the surface down ensuring that you have a perfectly clean top edge reducing any fraying or chipout that would be left if you were using an upcut bit for the same cut.

This bit is essentially a plunge-cutting straight with a shank-mounted ball-bearing pilot. Versatile, useful for template/pattern routing of parts, joints, internal cuts and can be used in handheld and table-mounted routers.
