1 Flute Straight

Single flute straight bits are carbide-tipped router bits that outperform multi-flute straight bits in chip evacuation and can run at higher feed rates. With only one cutting edge, friction and heat buildup are reduced, making them well suited to CNC routing applications. Common uses include dado cuts, slots, grooves, and edge trimming. They are a popular choice for CNC machines cutting softwoods, MDF, and plastics. For harder materials such as hardwood or dense composites, a 2 or 3 flute option is recommended for a cleaner result.
