Overview

Downcut spiral tools are best used for thinner materials that will be pushed down into the machine bed rather than being lifted with an upcut spiral. This can be particularly useful when using vacuum hold down were maintaining the seal between the material and sacrificial bed is crucial. These tools are predominantly used when a high-quality cut finish is required on the top surface of cut parts.

Specially designed to provide an excellent finish. It can be used with handheld, table-mounted, and CNC routers.

Designed for cutting the following materials

  • MDF/HDF
  • Foam Board
  • Hardwood
  • Plastic
  • Softwood
  • Plywood

Solved a major bugbear with finishing CNC passes.

I joined the ranks of home CNC users a couple of months ago. Huge learning curve, lots of daft mistakes but gained a lot of knowledge on the way.

I've learned that not all the received wisdom on the use of detail finishing router bits is correct - most favour the knife-type 30 degree bits, which I've used but have been disappointed with the quality of the end result. Tearout in mature stock like oak, pine and ply meant another manual process cleaning up crisp edges.

This tiny SpeTool 1/16" down-cut bit gave a very near perfect result - although obviously it took a little more machine time (slower feed rate obviously). But it added only 30 minutes on an already six hour roughing and detail finishing carve project - and saved me at least an hour on the manual edge cleaning.
