The bit arrived on time and well packaged, it comes in a hard plastic case. I also bought a CMT collet extension and a 3/4" diameter bowl and tray. I used a 1-1/4" collet extension bowl and tray to make my first milled bowl as dough, and the chisel worked flawlessly.The smooth sides and bottom were left on the bowl which was made from glued plies of maple and red oak.I will be using these CMT cutters to make some Christmas gifts (milled bowls and trays).
