Flutes: 3 Low Helix bits perform a more lateral movement with less lift resulting in a smoother finish. These bits are a better choice for hard plastics such as acrylic and phenolic. 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: Produces smooth finishes on hard plastics.
Cons: Low helix bits require a slower feed rate than "high helix" router bits. For use in CNC milling and carving machines.

I have a 1/8" router bit, but the cutting surface is only about 1/2 inch long so this is a great replacement which will allow me to do much deeper cuts when necessary. My other bit just barely does the job so I was needing it replace it and this is just the thing I needed. Seems to be of good quality and reasonable price, considering what others sell for.
