Dear Bob,
This part is a downcut bit as stated in the title of the part :)
Upcut and downcut router bits differ in the direction their flutes spiral, impacting chip removal and cut quality.
Upcut bits clear chips upwards, potentially leaving a rougher top surface but a cleaner bottom.
Downcut bits push chips down, resulting in a clean top surface but potentially leaving a rougher bottom.
Thanks,
Kevin
