This router bit is a must-have for any woodworker looking to achieve the perfect beadboard look. The precision and accuracy of this bit are unmatched, making it the perfect addition to any tool collection. The sharp carbide edge gives a smooth cut every time, leaving a beautiful finish that is sure to impress. The only downside is the price, but for the quality, it's worth the investment.
This is hard to work with. The smaller blade used to create the grove damaged itself the first time it was used. This happened because the blade rotated inside the system and hit the neighboring parts. With the right design, that shouldn't have happened.
I used this bit set to ream the tongue and groove on about 500 square feet of reclaimed planks. As part of the reclamation, I had to plane the boards to about 1/2 inch thick and saw off the old, damaged tongue and groove. This bit in the makeshift router table did the job. There was a grooving cutter that ranged in size between thick and thin grooving blades.
