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 degrades
cut quality and leads 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. The result:
fast cuts.
