Amana Tool 51320 Stagger Tooth 1/2 Diameter 1/2 Shank

A stagger-tooth bit has two cutting edges each only half the flute length located 180 deg apart one high one low. The result is a tool that combines the speed and chip clearance of a one-flute bit with the strength and balance of a two-flute bit. This opposite-shear configuration features a down-shear edge and an up-shear edge. On a through-cut it shears down on both surfaces at the same time. It is excellent for working double-sided melamine plywood laminates and veneers as well as solid-surface materials.
