How the Double Cut Feature Gives You Smoother Results
The double cut design combines right and left-hand flutes, which work together like the gears in a well-tuned car, ensuring a super smooth finish while you cut. Think of it like sanding wood with fine grit sandpaper instead of rough grit—it takes off material but leaves the surface silky smooth, making your next steps easier and cleaner.
