Review on πŸ”ͺ Amana Tool 47096 Bearing Diameter: A Premium Precision Cutting Tool for Superior Performance by Shedrick Roach

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good choice for pattern milling

I do pattern milling quite often on my router table setup. The sole reasons I use the Amana 47096 flush cutter are that the larger 3/4-diameter cutter stays sharper longer, the beveled cutting edges cut smoother with less chipping, and the top and bottom bearings allow you to flip the job and go with it cutting Proper grain orientation of the wood to prevent splitting and tearing. I use it with a Porter Cable 7518 router and it cuts deep with ease. If you're routing patterns, consider this attachment and use the base and bearings to your advantage to reduce cracking when working with moody woods like oak and cedar.

Pros
  • diameter (D) 3/4
Cons
  • old
