Working geometry
Upcut and downcut sections work toward the middle of the material.


Designed to route panel edges with opposing cutting directions.
The solid-carbide cutting section provides rigidity and wear resistance at the working edge.
This Vortex 2-flute Viper mortise compression router bit is designed to route panel edges with opposing cutting directions. It is suitable for double-sided laminates, melamine and high-pressure laminate.
Upcut and downcut sections work toward the middle of the material. With the transition positioned within the panel, the geometry helps support both faces during the cut. The solid-carbide cutting section provides rigidity and wear resistance at the working edge.
The 1/2 in cutting diameter and 1 in cutting length define the working section of this version. Its 1/2 in shank fits a holder or collet matched to that diameter. This is a left-hand tool; it must be used with the matching spindle rotation. The upcut section is 0.250 in long; position the transition within the material.
