Usually you would want to use 1/2" shank bits if possible, but for that 1/4" spiral you want a 1/4" shank. The reason is it lets you cut deeper when making multiple passes, like when using a circle jig. With the 1/4" shank you can cut deeper than the length of the cutting flutes, you can't do what with a 1/2" shank bit. I guess I'll just buy both sizes shank. Do you really need to cut that deep when the piece of wood is 3/4" though? 1 inch cutting length should be sufficient right?

If all you ever cut was 3/4" material the 1/2" shank bit would be fine, but for myself I'm cutting through double baffles most of the time. You can't do that with the 1/2" shank bit.

moh.vze.com Posted March 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Just made my purchase from carbideprocessors. I have to admit their customer service is superb it seems like. They were willing to give me a 10% discount code when I asked for a price match with usroutertools.
