Pros
- Compression spiral is both up-cut at the bottom (clean floor) and down-cut at the top (clean surface) simultaneously
- Produces clean cuts on both faces of a panel -- correct for veneered plywood routed on a CNC or with a plunge router
- TiCo Hi-Density carbide with Black I.C.E. coating for extended tool life
- Eliminates the need to choose between up-cut and down-cut when both faces are critical
Cons
- Higher price than a single-direction spiral bit
- Primarily a CNC-oriented bit -- requires consistent feed rate for best performance
- Less common in hand-held plunge routing
