The O flute bit is a carbide spiral flute with a unique mirror finish, resulting in high-quality surface finishes, clean professional cuts, and prolonged tool life.
How does it compare with other flute bits?
The O flute bit was explicitly manufactured for CNC Router machines for use in a variety of applications. Over the years, due to continuous improvement in its design and geometry, these router bits became the sign-making industry’s favorite tool, easily out shadowing its competition. Compared to other flute styles, the cuts are cleaner, plunges are deeper and chips are easily directed up or down, depending on the type of spiral you choose. If you work primarily with plastic or aluminum, you’ll be happy to learn that heat is dispersed more easily with the O flute bit and stops welding back.
What material does it cut with?
Although it’s most commonly used with plastic and aluminum, you can use the O flute bit on a variety of materials, such as acrylic, nylon, foam board, laminate, solid surfaces, and wood. SpeTooloffers several classic O-Flute bits, available in 1/4 and 1/8 inch cut diameters, and their high quality has won praise from customers and is definitely worth the price. https://spetools.com/collections/o-flute

I needed a bit to trim PVC Boards, and they needed to be square, because I used glue to hold them together - no nails or screws allowed as I'm using the PVC boards in a freezer.
This router bit performed amazingly! The SpeTool company shipped the router bit quickly and I finished the project. I will be back to look at other tools and accessories they offer.
A must have addition if you have the auto guide drill press
Perfect fit and feel. I have handled the woodpecker's version at the shop and this feels just as sturdy and smooth at a more reasonable price for a well machine piece. I have already used this several time in putting together a home made router table and necessary templates and it worked just right along with the drill guide. Very happy with the complete system.
I use this bit through some very hard, crazy-grained Honey Locust, then make multiple passes on 40 sq. ft. of dense oak. It was outstanding. Even without the price point, I recommend this bit. With the price, this is an incredible value. I have yet to turn the blades, but that seems well indexed and easy. Highly recommended.
