Overview

The SpeTool 1/8-inch downcut spiral pushes chips downward during cutting, leaving a clean, tear-free top surface. This makes it essential for cutting veneered plywood, laminates, and any project where the top face is the show surface. The trade-off is chips can pack in deep slots, so it works best for shallow passes.
