Freud O-Flute Up-Cut Spiral Bit for Soft Plastics - 1/4 in. Dia., 1/4 in. Shank

Freud® 1/4 in. Dia. O-Flute Up-Cut Spiral Bit for Soft Plastics - 1/4 in. Shank (75-025)

The Freud® 75-025 O-Flute Up-Cut Spiral Bit is engineered for clean, accurate routing in soft plastics and other plastic materials where heat control is essential. Its specialized O-Flute geometry efficiently evacuates chips while producing cooler cuts that help prevent melting, smearing, and other heat-related problems. The up-cut spiral design pulls chips away from the cutting area, helping maintain a clean work surface and producing a smooth bottom finish.

Designed for versatility, this solid-carbide spiral bit can be used with CNC machines and other automatic routers, as well as hand-held and table-mounted portable routers. It is an excellent choice for plastic fabrication, trimming, profiling, lettering, sign making, and other applications requiring precise cuts and dependable chip evacuation.

Key Features

• O-Flute Design: Promotes cooler cutting in soft plastics to help reduce melting and material deformation.
