Feeling "a little" cheap I decided to try a half dozen 1/2 inch shank bits for my office business. When I showed up I was immediately impressed, they come in a protective case, they are a good color scheme and thick carbide! What could go wrong, right? If only they had to sit on a shelf and look pretty I'd love them forever but in my workshop the tools have to work. This particular little guy looks amazing, great bearings, fits nicely in the router, but no matter what speed you set on the router or how fast you drive, it burns wood. I literally use it to make a 1/8 inch radius (which, if you know how to work with wood, it's basically "cornering"). I use 2hp porter cable routers so I think I have enough speed, I just think the bits are for DIY or limited use. and that is reflected in the price. I recommend spending a little more and getting beats made in Italy. You won't regret buying them (I've never had one).
