Hi Rusty

"What is the advantage of the spiral bit?" >>

"Top quality micrograin solid carbide. Will cut faster, smoother and stays sharper longer. Produces a very clean, fast and accurate cut with minimal chatter."

"Is it practicle to use a standard straight bit?" >>
Yes and No , in soft woods it's OK the norm but it's hard on the bit in hardwood and may take a pass or two to get what you want. i.e. 1/8" and 1/4" bits,and 3/8" most max out at 3/4" deep or less.
