The Polaris coated compression bit series features enhanced tool geometry, ensuring higher cut quality while maintaining maximum productivity. Superior coating adhesion and performance are achieved through a pre-coating process that increases the hardness and edge strength, ensuring durability and maximum tool life.
*Mortise Compression bits are designed with a short upcut that allows the use of the downcut action when creating grooves or mortises.
