{"product_id":"maker-modus-3-8-down-cut-cnc-router-bit-10-pack","title":"Maker Modus 3\/8\" Down-Cut CNC Router Bit 10-Pack, 2 Flute Solid Carbide, 3\/8\" Shank, 1-1\/4\" Cut","description":"\u003cp\u003eA down-cut bit has flutes that spiral the other way from a standard up-cut bit. As it spins, every flute pushes chips and fibers down into the cut instead of lifting them out. That keeps the top face of the material clean and helps hold the part flat against the spoilboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 10-pack has ten Maker Modus 3\/8\" down-cut bits in the factory carton. That works out to about $48 per bit, compared with $59.99 for a single bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach bit has a 3\/8\" cutting diameter, a 3\/8\" shank and 2 flutes. The cutting length is 1-1\/4\", the overall length is 3\" and the helix angle is 30°. It's made from solid carbide with our DuraKeen™ coating, a special coating made to extend edge life, and is built for woodworking on a CNC router.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 bits\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDown-cut (all flutes push down)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCutting diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\/8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShank diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\/8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCutting length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1-1\/4\" (1.25\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlutes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHelix angle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid carbide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDuraKeen™ coating, made to extend edge life\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFactory carton\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are the typical jobs for a down-cut bit:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePockets, dados and grooves where the top edge shows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays and sign work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlywood, MDF and laminated panels with a finished top face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall or thin parts that tend to lift during the cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDown-cut or compression?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePick these down-cut bits when the top face matters most, like pockets, dados and other cuts that don't go all the way through.
