Best for achieving smooth finish on hard plastics.
Cutting Diameter: 1/4"
Cutting Height: 1"
Shank Diameter: 1/4"
Overall Length: 2-1/2"
Flutes: 3 Low Helix bits perform a more lateral movement with less lift resulting in a smoother finish. These bits are a better choice for hard plastics such as acrylic and phenolic. Up-cut endmills direct chips up and away from the milling area leaving an unobstructed path for the endmill. Bit breakage is less likely.
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.

I recently switched to the Compression Spiral Router Bit for my CNC, and the results on hard woods are phenomenal. The cuts are incredibly clean, with zero splintering, and the bit's durability is impressive. Even after numerous projects, it retains its sharpness, and the reduced vibrations offer unmatched precision. It's a solid upgrade from my usual Amana bits, and I couldn't be happier with the performance. This tool is now a non-negotiable part of my setup. Two thumbs up!

I ordered this 1/16" upcut bit to use with my CNC machine. I've used their 1/4" end mills and have had great success. This bit has a 1/4" shaft, so it is a little more durable and stable while cutting. It has a 1/2" cutting length which works well with the 1/4" material I typically use it with.

This bit works great with intricate designs. I use relatively conservative settings and know that it can handle more aggressive speeds:
- Depth per pass: 0.030
- Feed rate: 40 inches / min
- RPM: 18k
