Main Product Description

This Vortex 2-flute downcut roughing spiral router bit is designed to remove stock before finishing. It is suitable for hardwood and plywood.

The interrupted cutting geometry breaks the cut into smaller sections. Use it for stock removal and allow a separate finishing pass when the final edge requires one. The downcut geometry shears toward the workpiece, helping support the top edge during the pass. The solid-carbide cutting section provides rigidity and wear resistance at the working edge.

The 1/2 in cutting diameter and 2-1/8 in cutting length define the working section of this version. Its 1/2 in shank fits a holder or collet matched to that diameter.

Compatibility & Installation Notes

A roughing pass leaves a rippled edge; select a separate finishing tool when a finished edge is required. Ramp into the cut; do not plunge straight down with downcut tooling. Provide suitable chip clearance and workholding.
