I don't own many solid carbide router bits due to their cost, but there are certainly some that are worth the investment, and this one is a standout.
Adding an Up/Down Compression Spiral bit to my collection has been a game-changer. It's exactly what I needed. The way it efficiently clears chips is impressive. The flute's sharpness and precise cutting deliver a remarkably flat bottom and clean top cut as it clears the chips. The tip covers one-third of the bit, cutting like an upward bit, while the lower two-thirds cut like a downward bit, resulting in exceptionally clean cuts.
Compression bits are often referred to as 'Magic bits' because of their outstanding performance.
While good up and down spiral bits are essential, nothing compares to this one.
