Review on 🏒 CMT 855 801 11 Window Sash Router: Enhance Window Construction with Precision and Efficiency by Luis Tuazon

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not worth the money for milling cutters

TLDR: Choose a cheaper set if you don't like tinkering (and have unlimited waste). I bought a CMT set and another set of sashes (yellow on Revain) to see if there was a difference. Other than the price, there isn't much of a difference. NO KIT CUT BOTH WITHOUT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT EVERY TIME. The $40 set is what we actually use because the tolerances are so tight that both cuts actually match and it ends up being easier to tune. This CMT set ($135) offers a better fit in theory, but you will ALWAYS have to work the small piece 2-4 times to get the flat parts to align properly - the curves align just fine.

Pros
  • 2 SinterHip Industrial High Density Chrome Carbide cutting edges for long life
Cons
  • Not as thick as other bits
