Overview

• Bright provides a smooth, polished finish on the tool
• It increases chip flow in softer materials such as aluminum, wood and plastic
• High speed steel (HSS) provides good wear resistance and can be used in general purpose applications for both ferrous and nonferrous materials
• Slow spiral bits have wider flutes and are used in heavier feeds
• They are used on nonferrous materials including aluminum, brass, copper and cast iron
• Spiral flutes are constructed with a higher flute angle to remove chips more easily.
