Low Helix Down Cut CNC Router Bit 1/2" X 1 1/4" X 1/2" X 3"

Best for achieving smooth finish on hard plastics.
Shank Diameter: 1/2"
Overall Length: 3"
Cutting Diameter: 1/2"
Cutting Height: 1-1/4"

Flutes: 2 Low Helix bits perform a more lateral movement with less upward or downward motion resulting in a smoother finish on single layer materials. These bits are a better choice for hard plastics such as acrylic and phenolic. Down cut endmills shear in a downward direction causing the uppermost layer of the material to be pressed down against the material just below it. This motion leaves a perfectly clean top surface edge. A concentration of wood chips in the work path will occur. Hose away excess wood chips to prevent bit breakage. Pros: Produces smooth finishes on hard plastics, Cons: Low helix bits require a slower feed rate than "high helix" router bits. For use in CNC milling and carving machines.
