Due to the ball bearing guide, the cut is higher.

This dovetail bit allows you to make sharp, precise cuts against the grain in wood when used with a dovetail attachment. It's well thought out.

Pros
  • 14 degree angle
Cons
  • Some bugs

Depth of cut problem

Delivery was as promised. However, due to the protrusion just below the bearing and the bearing collar on top of the bearing, the depth of cut could not be adjusted to work with a 3/8 gauge jig.

Pros
  • Cutter diameter 1/2 inch
Cons
  • Expensive

Slightly undersized stock

It cuts very well in softwood and decently in hardwood. However, the stock was slightly undersized. This makes my tails a bit narrow and my pins too wide apart. All mine Joints were loose I replaced the bearing and it works like a dream.

Pros
  • 2-1/4" overall length
Cons
  • I'll write later
