How Double Cut Design Helps You Achieve Super Smooth Finishes
The double cut burr combines both right hand and left hand spiral flutes, creating a fine cross-cutting action. Think of it like two sets of blades working against each other to shave your workpiece with more finesse. This results in less vibration, better control, and a polished surface that’s visually smoother. If you've ever tried to sand paper something and then used a fine steel wool for a final pass, the double cut is that final smooth step built right into the tool.
