Up cut endmills are great for all standard milling and material removal. These bits pull the wood chips up and away from the tool path which helps prevent tool breakage and extends the life of the bit. If a particular finish is required for your project, use a down cut or compression cut end mill for the final pass.

Best used for: Standard milling, dadoing, and boring.
Overall Length: 3"
Cutting Diameter: 5/16"
Cutting Height: 1"
Shank Diameter: 1/2"
Flutes: 3 Up-cut endmills direct woodchips up and away from the milling area leaving an unobstructed path for the endmill. Bit breakage is less likely. Up cut end mills are the best choice for most standard milling applications. The up cut direction can leave behind a minimally rough top surface edge.

I use this bit for routering out for C channels on river tables. Have learned not to be too aggressive on depth so will make two passes. For example if targeting a one inch depth, will do a first pass of 1/2" then increase to one inch. Find the bit will heat up too much and leave a burnt coating on the bit.

If you are looking for a great bit for super smooth cuts on your cnc, this is the perfect one. I use this bit daily and it works great! I got tired of trying to decide if I wanted to use a upcut or downcut bit, than I found this and my upcut and downcut bits have been side lined. It also has the ability to speed up my cuts alot! I will be buying more of these as I need!
