A Spiral Upcut Makes Easy Work of Creating Mortises and Grooves by Katherine Renison
When you need to cut grooves and deep mortises, an up-cut spiral router bit works wonders. You can create a flat bottom to the mortise, as the end of the bit has square edges that cut with precision. Chips will not pack in to the mortise, as the cutting edge works to pull any loose chips up and out of the groove, which you won't find with a straight router bit. Doing a spiral upcut also works well with a router table because the wood project you are working on is pulled down to the table while you make the cuts.
When cutting a hole or slot, using a spiral upcut helps to remove all chips from the area, which is essential when you are cutting a hole that is deep. While it will still be necessary to perform several light cuts, the flutes of the bit move upward as they spin which helps prevent chips and other wood debris from accumulating in the groove or slot, which can bind the bit or even cause it to break.
One problem some woodworkers experience when doing a spiral upcut is that the upward spiraling of the flutes may fray the edges of the wood as they cut. This damage is usually minimal, especially when you use up cut bits that are high quality. If the edges will be visible when your project is completed, this can be a problem. In most projects, the edges of a mortise are covered by the shoulders of a tenon that will be fit to the mortise, so this doesn't create a problem, since the chipped or frayed edge of the wood will be hidden once the project is assembled.
When you want your woodworking project to look professional and well designed, using a spiral upcut will really dress up your work. Today, many people build their own cabinets, jewelry boxes, accent tables and other projects. Whether as a hobby or a profession, you want your work to be something you are proud of! Using a spiral upcut can make the difference between a finished project that looks professional and beautiful, and one that looks like you did it yourself.
