Cutting direction—up-cut, down-cut, or straight—significantly influences chip evacuation, surface finish, and edge quality. Up-cut bits efficiently lift chips and prevent clogging, ideal for deep cuts (46451), while down-cut bits press chips downward, delivering cleaner top edges and reducing surface splintering (46476-K). Straight-cut bits are designed for specialized tasks. This variety allows you to optimize ball end router bit performance according to your material and desired finish.
