Up-cut, down-cut
When the router bit manufacturers refers to a spiral-cut router bit as
up-cut or down-cut, are they consistently speaking with reference to the router base? Or are they assuming a router-table orientation as opposed to a hand-held router? The ambiguity being, of course, that a router bit that cuts away from the router is down-cut when the router is being hand-held, and up-cut if the router is mounted under a router table. Tom |

Or are they assuming a router-table orientation as opposed to a hand-held router? It's referenced with respect to the *wood*. Up-cut lifts the fibers up and out of the wood, down- cut cuts down into the wood. |
