This is one of those times that spending a little more upfront saves you a lot of money down the line.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpiral bits perform 100x better and 100x longer than straight bits. I recommend staying away from straight bits in general, because they dull so much faster and their aggressive cutting profile can be much less safe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCheck out the video in additional resources for more info.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bits \u0026 Bits Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42545992433834,"sku":"425-CM250-SF","price":43.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/6358\/3402\/products\/1-4_IN_COMPRESSION_BIT_03.jpg?v=1645550467","url":"https:\/\/kmtools.mom\/products\/1-4-x-1-4sh-short-flute-spiral-compression-loc-1-inch-astra-coated","provider":"KM Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
