Torquata SCU-127-H Spiral Upcut Bit 12.7mm 1/2"

Torquata solid carbide spiral bits begin life as extra-hard C4 micro grain carbide, ground using sophisticated 6-Axis C.N.C. to grind their spiral geometry.  The precision of the spiral and hardness of carbide allows for a very sharp edge and typically longer edge sharpness. A straight bit can't compete with that. The geometry and top point allow you to plunge into your work like a drill, using a constant shearing action when making the cuts.

Used handheld, upcut bits eject the waste up towards the shank with a smoother edge on the bottom of the cut, Used in a table, upcut bits eject waste under the table with a smoother top edge.

If you're looking for the opposite chip ejection and edge finish you need to check out the Downcut Spiral Bit range.

Spiral bits work perfectly on all forms of solid timber, along, across and on end-grain and leave razor-sharp edges on melamine, veneered boards, ply, MDF and chipboard.
