Review on πŸ“ CMT 854502-11 2-Inch 8-Inch Radius by Richard Edwar

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Tricky Setup is suitable for power tool parts and accessories

Using this router bit in a router table without a pilot bearing can be crazy. Mine came without a pilot bearing, so setting the fence on the router table requires precise alignment with the innermost radius point on the router bit. This point must line up exactly with the exit side of the fence or you will end up with a snipe at the end of the cut. It is very difficult to find exactly this point inside the radius. You use a lot of old wood for test cuts. Like I said, it's crazy. I wish there was a video on the CMT website with tips on setting this bit up like they do for the bar up bits.

Pros
  • For making stair nosings, window sills, shelves and more.
Cons
  • High Price
