Can anyone recommend a spiral bit for pocketing and profiling hardwood at depths of up to 60mm? I’ve been using a straight bit which is ok but not that happy with the results which need a bit of sanding. I think a spiral bit would do a better job at reducing chatter but struggling to find an (affordable) bit at this length which will fit my er20 collet. Also when profiling at this depth the channels get clogged up with chips even with the vacuum on!

I've got some of their tapered spiral carbide bits and they are excellent. I've cut lots of 3D stuff with them both in wood and aluminum.Quote:

This was what I was looking at - 10mm sounds king of narrow though for a 63mm cutting length?! Shame they don’t have any 12mm at that length.

I've just bought a couple of their carbide downcut 2mm and 1mm endmills. Giving a very nice finish.
How about one of these
