These bits are ideal for projects that don't demand a precise, clean cut, such as rough cutting or removing excess material. They are also suitable for working with softwoods or board, where the cutting action is not as aggressive.
While they may not provide the same level of precision and cleanliness as carbide-tipped spiral router bits, straight router bits are a more affordable option for woodworkers who don't need the highest level of quality in their finished products.
COMMON USES
Dado cutting: They can be used to create dadoes in wood or other soft materials.
Grooving: Straight bits are suitable for creating grooves in wood or other soft materials.
