Review on ๐Ÿ”„ Efficient Routing with RFT5200 Carbide Up Cut Spiral Router by Charlie Dillon

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Smooth, unburned cuts from 1-7/8 " thick maple

Fantastic. Leaves a mirror-smooth cut of hard maple even when cut all the way through. I left about 1 16-1/8" of stock left for flushing with this nozzle.Used in a router table with the router speed around 20,000-22,000rpm on a Dewalt DW618 router.There were cut sections that went against the fibers of the tree but this had almost no impact on quality of the cut. I've never noticed any extra vibration or resistance due to the direction of the fibers, which is always the case with straight bits. You'll be very happy with this beat. Worth every penny.
