Great for splicing on a router table

When I was making an interior door from scrap materials, I glued .75" cedar planks to 1.75" x 7" and 1.75" x 4.5" rails. stands. After passing through the thicker, the broadsides were parallel, but the two edges were neither parallel nor perpendicular to the broadsides. Correcting this would be an easy task for a jointer, but I don't know. It turns out, however, that my Kreg PRS1040 Precision Router Table System has the surprisingly fortunate ability to act as a jointer, limited by the cutter's

Pros
  • Heavy-duty steel, orange non-stick coating
Cons
  • Some mistakes

Heavy duty but nothing fancy

I was very impressed with the knife packaging from the start - a hard plastic case that you can reuse to store your bit . This is definitely an improvement over the disposable blister packs that my Freud bits came in. However, when I took the racket out of the packaging, I was a bit disappointed with the workmanship. The orange paint has spattered a bit on the blades, and the 3/4 inch diameter head (the part where the carbide blades are welded) has a slight gouge along the edge. With the blades

Pros
  • 3/4" cutting edge diameter, 4-5/16" length, includes bearings
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
