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 have only used these clamps a few times so far but can honestly say they have made the process of glueing up and clamping a number of boards much easier and quicker. I use to spend considerable time glueing up boards, applying calls to maintain a flat surface and then making sure I get the Calls off before the squeezed out glue made them stick to the boards. So far I have found that the glue does not stick to the clamps which is an added bonus. Good Job SpeTool
I put off getting one of these for a long time, unconvinced they could handle router planing serious hardwood since top quality smaller solid bits I owned struggled with it. But wow do they work. Mowing through endless board feet in a fraction of the time I was taking before. And we're talking about some of the hardest woods in North America - pecan, mesquite, and south Texas red oak (which is seemingly as dense and harder than live oak).
