When it comes to cutting plastic, no other milling cutter can compete. Proper chip size is essential for quality cutting, and this attachment is ideal for hard plastics like polycarbonate (a relatively 'soft' material). With a single cutting edge, this bit takes big bites to keep heat down, then effortlessly ejects those shavings for a quick but clean cut through polycarbonate and other hard plastics. Note that this attachment ejects the shavings up (ie (<1/4") to lift them while cutting. The other version (62-725) ejects the shavings down to cover the material on the work surface Hold shank, see description and specs it is incorrectly listed as 1/2 inch.
