1/2" HP Short Flute Compression
Short up-cut section for shallow passes and thin sheet goods.
This is a short up-cut (mortise style) compression bit: the up-cut section at the tip is shorter than on a standard compression bit, so the down-cut flutes engage sooner on shallow passes and in thinner sheet stock. This High Performance .5" spiral compression router bit has a 1" length of cut, a 1/2" shank and a 3" overall length (OAL). It is ground from solid carbide and finished with the AstraHP nano-coating, which helps it resist heat and edge wear, and it can be used in CNC routers, router tables and handheld routers.
