The 1/2 inch down-cutting bit (a.k.a. down bit, down cut bit, downcut bit) is the workhorse of CNC router bits! You will almost always make this the first on your machine. Why?

2 reasons...

  1. The 1/2" down bit removes the bulk of the material in pockets and around letters. 
  2. It does all the cutout work for finished projects.

A third reason is, most CNC routers are set up for 1/2" bits, so it is the reasonable go-to for your work. 

For these reasons, you want to make sure your 1/2" down cutter is made right & built to last. That's why these are made above industry standards and 100% tungsten carbide.

Carbide is what professional metal machinists use to make complex items like car engines. It stays sharp 50x longer than conventional CNC router bits.

Order your workhorse 1/2" down-cut bit today.
