Efficient and Precise Router Bit

After i put it to the test on multiple projects, I found this router bit to be extremely efficient and precise. The 2 inch diameter allowed me to easily and smoothly cut through all types of wood. However the price point may be a deterrent for some DIY enthusiasts..

Pros
  • Efficient, precise cutting
Cons
  • High price point

Good nozzle but a little long

As with all CMT products, the quality of this bit is high. The only issue I had was that it was a bit long for use in the Porter Cable 690 router. To make the shallow cut I needed, I had to make a 1/4" spacer to place between the router and the removable base plate (I had to cut a 1/8" deep groove to accommodate the brass knife hinge fit). If it wasn't for that I would have given 5 stars.

Pros
  • For right angle connections, box-through connections, mortise and tenon connections, tongue, groove and tongue and groove connections.
Cons
  • Only available in black
