Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced Woodworking Router with Dual Carbide Tips by Mike Roe

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Impressive performance for the price

I used this 9/16 inch (1-1/8 inch diameter) radius cutter to trim the edge radii on the bottom edge of a large oriental white pine mantel. The final radius was 5/8" and I had an expensive 1-1/4" European pro bit for finishing. The radii were cut across the full width to a depth of 3/4 inch and the excess wood on the outside of the milled steps was sawed off after the radii were made. That's probably 98% stock removal, decreasing by 1/4 inch. in 1/16" increments leaving only about 1/32" of material on the bottom and shell side of the radii to be removed with a 1-5/8" European made drill bit. When I finished was, this drill was still sharp and the (new) expensive bit had broken off in a groove.
