S3809 3/8" Shank Compression Chip Breaker Spiral Router Bit - 3 Flutes - 3/8" Cutting Dia - 7/8" LOC - 3" OAL - 1/4" UCL

Each flute has small serrations to tear up the chips as the bit is cutting through the project.  Why Choose Spiral Router Bits Instead of Straight Bits? Spiral router bits combine a shearing action with an augering action for chip clearance. This dual action not only produces a clean and accurate cut but also efficiently clears chips from the cut area, enhancing the overall cutting experience. What is Compression (Up-Cut & Down-Cut) Bits? Features: Compression bits combine the features of both up-cut and down-cut bits. The top part of the bit is designed to be down-cut, improving the top edge finish, while the bottom part is up-cut, enhancing the finish on the bottom side of the material. This up-cut down-cut action is what leaves a sharp, clean edge on both edges of your workpiece.  Applications: The preferred bit for cutting laminated materials or any situation where both sides of the material are visible and require a fine finish.  Considerations: To fully benefit from
