Whiteside HC5122M Hercules Spiral Up/Down Cut 2+2 Mortise Compression Router Bit: 1/2 Inch Cutting Diameter, 1/2 Inch Shank, 1-1/4 Inch Cutting Length

Meant for heavy loads, this bit is engineered for maximum bit life in high wear applications. Ideal for long production runs in MDF and laminated materials. This flute design creates a compression cut that prevents fraying and splintering. Compression spirals will save you time and money on finishing your projects edges by reducing sanding time. This bit has the added feature of shorter up cut flutes, allowing the down shear cutting action to the top surface during shallow cuts.

• TOOL SPECS: Solid carbide, 2+2 mortise compression spiral with 1/2" cutting diameter, 1/2" shank, 1-1/4" cutting length, and 3" overall length for use in routers with a 1/2" collet.
• HERCULES: Built like "Hercules" to withstand severe loads, offering exceptional strength and durability in demanding tasks.
• MAXIMUM LIFE: Engineered for extended bit life in high-wear applications, ensuring durability and long-lasting performance even in tough materials.
• MORTISE COMPRESSION: Mortise compression spirals feature a short upcut end flute. This design allows the down shear action to reach the top surface of the material during shallow cuts.
• MATERIALS: Ideal for long production runs in MDF and laminated materials, delivering consistent, precise cuts for high-efficiency woodworking projects.
• MACHINES: Designed for hand-held routers, router tables, and CNC machines in a wide variety of applications.
