freud VHM solid carbide spiral router bit Z3+3 up- & downcut D12 | NL42 | NL-Up14

This type of solid carbide router bit excels at groove cutting and finishing when clean edges are crucial. Compression router bits like these are used not only in CNC nesting machines but also deliver high performance at the router table for outstanding milling results at home. Compared to straight carbide router bits, spiral router bits have the advantage of spiral-ground blades, which transport wood chips away more efficiently.

Features & benefits

  • Finishing router bit made from solid carbide in industrial quality.
  • Z3+3 compression blades: Three blades ensure a smooth groove base (right-hand spiral/upcut), while the other three blades ensure clean and tear-free groove edges (left-hand spiral/downcut).
  • During finishing processes, where only the edge of a workpiece is routed, the simultaneous left- and right-hand spiral ensures equally clean cutting edges. 
  • Materials: softwood, hardwood, and wood-based panel materials.
