Straight and Spiral Router Bits for Wood, Particle Board, and Plywood
Create square slots, pockets, and edges in wood. These router bits are plunge cutting, letting you cut directly into the workpiece from above. They do not have a pilot, so guide your router along a straight edge when hand routing to make accurate cuts.
Bits with spiral flutes leave a smoother finish than straight-flute bits and make plunge cuts more easily. They're made of solid carbide for longer tool life and faster cutting speeds than high-speed steel. Ceramic-coated carbide bits are harder and protected from high heat, making them last about 2.5 times longer than uncoated bits.
Spiral-flute bits with downward chip removal push chips down for applications that require a smooth finish on the cut's top edge.

Straight and Spiral Router Bits for Plastic
The smooth flutes and sharp cutting edges on these router bits cleanly cut square slots, pockets, and edges in most plastics, including polyethylene, polycarbonate, and vinyl. They do not have a pilot, so guide your router along a straight edge when hand routing to make accurate cuts.
Use carbide bits for longer tool life and faster cutting speeds than high-speed steel. Ceramic-coated carbide bits have a coating that increases the hardness of the bits and protects them from high heat, making them last about 2.5 times longer than uncoated bits.
Bits with spiral flutes leave a smoother finish than straight-flute bits. Bits with downward chip removal push chips down for applications that require a smooth finish on the cut's top edge.
Bits with a plunge cut type let you cut directly into the workpiece from above. Other bits are best for operations where the peripheral teeth do most of the work such as trimming, contouring, and finishing.
Choose a bit with one flute for a faster cut; bits with more flutes produce a smoother finish.

Straight and Spiral Router Bits for Aluminum
Also known as O-flute bits, the flutes on these bits are open and rounded for efficient chip removal when cutting aluminum. This also reduces heat to prevent melting or warping. Use these bits to create square slots, pockets, and edges. They are plunge cutting, letting you cut directly into the workpiece from above. They do not have a pilot, so guide your router along a straight edge when hand routing to make accurate cuts.
Carbide bits have a longer life and faster cutting speeds than high-speed steel bits. Their extreme hardness makes them brittle, so they’re not recommended for use with hand tools. A highly rigid setup, such as a CNC machine, is necessary to keep bits from breaking.
Bits with spiral flutes leave a smoother finish than straight-flute bits and make plunge cuts more easily. Bits with downward chip removal push chips down for applications that require a smooth finish on the cut's top edge.
Choose a bit with one flute for a faster cut; bits with two flutes produce a smoother finish.

Spiral Router Bits for Foam
The cutting edges of these bits have a shallow angle to carve foam quickly and accurately. With a square cut style, they create slots, pockets, and edges. Their spiral flutes leave a smooth finish and are good for making plunge cuts. All are made of solid carbide for a long tool life and fast cutting speeds. The extreme hardness of carbide bits means they are brittle, so a highly rigid setup, such as a CNC machine, is necessary to prevent the bit from breaking.
Bits with downward chip removal push chips down for applications that require a smooth finish on the cut’s top edge.
