Description
This is a description of a straight bit for use with a router. The bit has short cutting edges and a short overall length, which helps to ensure good cut quality. The bit has two flutes, which helps to balance the bit and eliminate vibration that can damage the cut. The bit has a 12.7mm shank, which is the size most routers will accept.
Double flute Straight bit
In choosing a straight bit for any application, always select one with the shortest cutting edges and the shortest overall length that will reach the required cut depth. Excessive length intensifies deflection and vibration, which degrade cut quality and lead to tool breakage. Use a two-flute bit where fine finish is paramount. Two flutes balance the bit, eliminating vibration that degrades the cut finish. Two cuts per revolution yield a smooth surface, but feed rate is slightly reduced. This router bit has a
12.7mm shank (shaft) that will fit most large routers. Please ensure that you select a router bit with a shank (shaft) size that will fit into your router collet. Â
