* Straight - pushes against work - chips evacuated sideways. Good for hogging material. Poor cutting finish over spiral flutes.

** Up-cut - pulls up on work - chips evacuated upward. Best bottom finish. Good for hard/soft grain wood. Can be plunged straight down.
** Down-cut - pushs down on work - chips evacuated downward. Best top finish. Best for veneer wood (ex: plywood). Good for hard/soft grain wood. Use ramp when plunging.
* Compression - at cutting depth, pulls up on bottom of work and pushes down on top of work - chips evacuated towards center of cut depth. Good for hard/soft grain wood and veneer wood.
