That's a lot. It may just be the bit I got but the dominoes are very free unlike the Festool bits. However, I'll probably try CMT for the big domino bits when the time comes.
Pros
Used on Domino machines to cut slots in solid wood and composite wood.
I like it better than the factory Festool 4mm bit. This bit broke very quickly when the cutter came off the shaft. I bought it because it needs to be strong like other domino sizes, but it also comes in two pieces. This is the only reason I rated it 4 stars and not 5 stars.
Pros
Housing and centering spiral made of high-quality heavy-duty steel.
Works just as well as Festool bits and costs about half. I have an old kit that didn't include a 4mm nozzle and was making stair railings and needed an efficient way to install small balustrades on 3.5" centers. 4mm dominoes seemed like the best solution and I bought this racket to do it. Still sharp after 200+ holes in red oak. Since the Festool bits are blunt, I will buy CMT bits as a replacement.
Pros
Black PTFE coated, 2 cutting edges, 2 spiral flutes.
