Flutes: 3 Low Helix bits perform a more lateral movement with less upward or downward motion resulting in a smoother finish on single layer materials. 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. Produces smooth finishes on hard plastics,Low helix bits require a slower feed rate than "high helix" router bits. For use in CNC milling and carving machines.

This small bit cuts very well and handles wood as one would hope. It is definitely meant for finer work being so small and I have a little worry when using it since it is so small. It hasn't broken yet but whether this is due to its quality or my own tender care I am not sure but I will imagine it is some of each. If you are in need of a bit for fine work on your router, this should easily do the trick.
