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

This is a fantastic addition to my Spetool router sled. It cuts evenly and quickly without tearing. The quality is the best I have experienced and the replacement cutting blades are a definite plus.
Great for small detail work on many different species of wood.
This bit, W04036 is used a lot in my workshop. I do many small projects and find this bit great for many different lettering fonts. Also, produces great detail on the images on my work pieces.
Oak, Padauk, Sapele, Walnut, Mahogany and Eucalyptus are my major wood species, and I have had no problems using the W04036 SpeTool bit. The only one I broke was when it fell of my worktable and hit the concrete floor. I keep 3 on hand just in case one ever breaks.
I have used 2 of these at this point and they have been excellent. They are in the downloadable tool database so I didn't have to create anything manually. They cut great and no signs of heat buildup. Have used them on various wood types from Baltic birch plywood to walnut and I am very pleased with the results. Would definitely buy them again in the future.
