Frequently Asked Questions

A bit designed to push chips downward, resulting in a clean top surface with minimal tear-out.

  • Down-cut: smooth top surface, rougher bottom
  • Up-cut: clean bottom edge, risk of top tear-out
  • Straight: general-purpose, less chip evacuation efficiency

Plywood, laminates, veneer, and finish-grade panels where a clean top surface is crucial.

When the top surface will be visible and needs to be perfectly clean (e.g., dados, grooves, or templates).

Not ideal. Downward chip compression can cause clogging and heat buildup in deep cuts.

They can if chip evacuation is poor. Use multiple shallow passes and proper feed rate to avoid it.

Make shallow passes and avoid pushing the bit too fast. Ensure your router is powerful enough.

Yes, especially when the template is on the top surface — it helps prevent tear-out along the template edge.

You can, but remember the chip direction will push back toward the workpiece, so dust collection and safety are key.

Poor chip ejection on deep cuts. Not ideal for cutting all the way through thick material.

Very clean cuts

Wow!!! This spiral router bit works great!!! Used it to make circle cut outs for speakers. Very clean cuts. Not sure how long it will stay sharp but if it doesn’t last long, I will update my review.

Faster shipping if you buy direct

I followed up this purchase by buying it directly from the manufacturers website. The price was the same but shipping was WAY faster.

Works well in hardwoods

I originally bought this to make a pen / pencil holder for my wife, who like to sketch ... it has 204 holes in the top, with matching pockets in the base, and it was made out of white oak ... the bit took care of that task very well (I used a spiral milling method). Then today I used it in purple heart, milling a 3.9" diameter x 0.35" deep pocket that will hold a phone charging pad, and again with very good results. Note: I tend to use conservative feed and speed values ... in this latter case I used about 15000 rpm, 40 ipm, 0.05" depth per pass ... I could definitely have gone faster, but it's not worth it to me to save a few minutes and risk having issues.

Great quality!

I use SpeTool bits all the time with my CNC router. They are great quality and don't dull easily.
