Category: Up-Cut CNC Bits

This metric 8mm up cut spiral is engineered for CNC shops running metric CAD/CAM workflows and cutting hardwood panels or solid stock. The cut diameter is ground true to metric—no imperial rounding—so toolpaths and finished part dimensions remain exact from program to part.

The up-cut geometry efficiently evacuates chips upward, making it well-suited for hardwoods, solid lumber, and applications where chip clearance and heat control are critical. A 1/2″ shank provides the rigidity required for stable cutting in production CNC machines, while AstraHP coating helps manage heat and extend edge life during longer runs.

This tool is intended for CNC use only and is built for professional cabinet, furniture, and production workflows.

Made in USA.

Edward ★★★★★

Finally a bit that matches my metric CAM setup exactly—no more chamfering off-center. Cut a dozen test squares in 19mm birch ply and the finish is glass-smooth, no chip-out. The Astra coating seems to be holding up well after a few hours of hard use.

Avery O. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about metric-ground bits for imperial machines, but this 8mm up-cut spiral ran perfectly in my CNC with zero deflection on solid maple. The chip evacuation is noticeably better than my old standard bits, and the AstraHP coating seems to reduce heat buildup during long runs.

John ★★★★★

Finally, a bit that actually cuts true to 8mm without any imperial rounding—my joinery fits perfectly now. The AstraHP coating handles hardwood panels like butter, and the up-cut clears chips fast. Worth every penny for metric CNC work.
