In choosing a straight bit for any application, always select one with the shortest cutting edges and the shortest overall length that will reach the required cut depth. Excessive length intensifies deflection and vibration, which degrade cut quality and lead to tool breakage.A single-flute bit should be used where cut speed is more important than cut finish. Making one cut per revolution is faster than making two or three. Improved chip clearance is possible with a single flute configuration....

For high-volume production work with a CNC router use one of these plunge-cutting straights. Long, 3/4" shanks extend the bit's reach enhancing its versatility. Open-flute design promotes rapid chip clearance, necessary for high feed rates. Right-hand configuration for standard clockwise rotation. Right-hand configuration for standard clockwise rotation. Left-hand configuration for counter-clockwise rotation "Topmaster" machines. ...

Use a two-flute bit where fine finish is paramount. Two flutes balance the bit, eliminating vibration that degrades the cut finish. Two cuts per revolution yield a smooth surface, but feed rate is slightly reduced.

For high volume, high speed cutting in dense natural woods and abrasive wood composites, use solid carbide bits. Solid carbide dissipates heat more uniformly, extending tool life. Single flute bits cut faster, with better chip clearance. Two-flute bits cut more slowly, but leave a smooth finish.
