This is an upcut bit, which means the spiral flutes are cut in such a way that when the bit is rotated clockwise, it cuts from "bottom to top." It's better for rougher cuts because it has two flutes, and a smoother surface finish requires slower feed rates or higher rpm.

For the price, this is an excellent milling tool; it worked flawlessly in 7075 forged aluminum. It appears to be wearing at a normal rate, and the finish and tolerance were both excellent.
The 6061 was not successfully cut by the cutter. Before clogging, the lats cut about 3 inches.
Very quick delivery, and the tool was exactly what was advertised.
This is insane, I have to say. Of course, if your feeds and speeds are set correctly, aluminum milling is a breeze. It's my first time using it, so I'm not sure how long I'll be able to keep it up. Scarves are cut.
I'm new to CNC and am building my own machine, so I'm in need of a variety of bits for different materials. I needed a SpeTool 12501 bit, and this one fit the bill perfectly. It was delivered quickly and is a good tool that does what it should.
The shipping was quick, and the product was sharp, clean, and straight. My usual recipe does not cut aluminum; I'll have to experiment with them more to see what works.
