Review on Roman Carbide DC1083 8 Inch 2 Inch by Tim Knoepfle

Revainrating 5 out of 5

First attempt with Roman carbide.

Wow. Inexpensive and way better than other bits in this price range. Is that a $35 Freud? Whiteside at $45? No and no. But for the price it's great! Except Color (color AND quality of color) nobody will accuse you of confusing it qualitatively with Freud. Carbide is just as hard in Diablo. And anyway, 20 years ago a carpenter would have given his kidney for this quality! The bearings are super. No babble , and my favorite part that I never understood was so important until now: Suitcase! Wow, the suitcase alone was worth it! I would pay good money for a few hundred of these boxes. Rschunimagu. Of course, Yonico gets a piece all day eat but the case is amazing. Definitely. I will be buying a few more just to see how I like the other parts.

Pros
  • 5/8" cutter diameter
Cons
  • Little things
