SpeTool 1/8" Downcut 2-Flute Spiral
SpeTool
$9.99
Overview
SpeTool's 2-flute 1/8-inch downcut provides a smoother finish than the single-flute version while maintaining the clean-top-surface advantage of downcut geometry. The dual flutes produce less visible tooling marks on the cut walls, making it ideal for visible joints, inlays, and detailed sign work where both the top surface and wall quality matter.
