Whiteside RU5200 1/2" STANDARD SPIRAL BIT

Whiteside RU5200 1/2" Up Cut SPIRAL BIT

Materials: Natural woods, composites, hard plastics, thin aluminum

Recommended RPM: 16,000-18,000 (max 24,000)

Spiral bits provide a shear cutting edge that leaves a smoother cut than standard router bits. Up cut spiral design provides the best control with hand or table routing.  When creating dado's this design brings chips up and out of the cut.

• TOOL SPECS: Solid carbide, up cut spiral with 1/2" cutting diameter, 1/2" shank, 2" cutting length, and 4" overall length for use in routers with a 1/2" collet.
• UP CUT SPIRAL: Ideal for smooth finishes and rapid chip removal. Up cut spirals create a clean edge on the side of the material that is farthest from the router.
• HELIX: The upward cutting action removes chips efficiently, especially in deep cuts. The spiral helix ensures clean, crisp cuts while outperforming standard straight bits.
• MULTI-PURPOSE TOOLING: Plunge-capable bit for precision woodworking. Perfect for creating grooves, dados, slots, pockets, and more.
• MATERIALS: Performs best with hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, MDF, and hard plastics for versatile woodworking applications.
• MACHINES: Designed for hand-held routers, router tables, and CNC machines in a wide variety of applications.
