Standard Double Flute Upcut Router Bit for Versatile Routing and Chip Evacuation in Wood, Plastics, and Aluminum in Canada.
The Snail Tools Solid Carbide 2 Flute Spiral End Mill is a highly popular and versatile tool, perfect for general-purpose slotting, plunging, and profiling. The standard upcut spiral geometry efficiently pulls chips upward and out of the cut zone, ensuring rapid chip evacuation and cooling—essential when machining deep slots or materials prone to melting or binding, such as aluminum, plastics, and dense wood. This cutter features matching 1/4 inch Cut Diameter and 1/4 inch Shank Diameter, providing excellent stability over its 2.5 inch overall length. Constructed from Solid Carbide, this tool is ideal for everyday CNC routing applications across Ontario and the GTA.
