Up-cut bits efficiently eject chips upwards, making them ideal for deep carving and improved cooling, while down-cut bits push chips down, which helps keep the top surface clean and prevents tear-out on delicate surfaces. The best choice depends on your material and desired edge finish. Many carving bits, such as Amana Tool 46493 and Amana Tool 46280-K, are up-cut for optimal chip removal in deep or 3D work. A variety of up-cut and down-cut options are available to match your finish needs.
