Best used for: Laminate or veneer-finish plunging and dadoing.

Cutting Diameter: 7/32"
Shank Diameter: 1/4"
Overall Length: 2-1/2"
Cutting Height: 1"
Flutes: 3 Down cut endmills shear in a downward direction causing the uppermost layer of the material to be pressed down against the material just below it. This motion leaves a perfectly clean top surface edge. A concentration of wood chips in the work path will occur. Hose away excess wood chips to prevent bit breakage.
Pros: Prevents top surface edge chipping and tear-away. Cons: Less than optimal chip removal when dadoing or plunging. (Choose an up cut spiral bit for standard more efficient milling. For use in CNC milling and carving machines.

This bit works well for shallow cuts with fine detail where you want to leave a small radius to clean up. Of course being so thin means you can not put a lot of load on it, so watch the feed rate.
Overall a good bit to have in the arsenal for specific cases, needless to say you won't be using it for hogging out large amounts of material.
