Whiteside RU5150 1/2-inch upcut spiral
1/2 in
When to choose it
Choose the RU5150 when the project needs a 1/2-inch spiral groove and the flute length must accommodate a deeper cut over suitable passes. The upcut geometry pulls chips toward the router during cutting.
The 1-1/2-inch flute is a geometric dimension. Check the router setup, permitted feed and pass depth in the instructions. If top-face veneer condition is the priority, compare a documented downcut design matched to the same operation.
