Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Tongue and Groove Router Bit Tool Set - Adjustable 1/4 Inch Shank T Shape Wood Milling Cutter for Solid Wood - Woodworking Chisel Cutter by Devin Girard

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Worked great at first but quickly became dull

I used a 45ยฐ router bit with a Porter Cable 892 router and a Bosch routing table to cut two 6-foot pieces of 1x3 dry oak. The first cut seemed to be going very well and halfway through the second cut the cut quality started to deteriorate noticeably - rough edges and quite a bit of drag in the feed. In the end he was able to gnaw through the piece successfully for the most part, but apparently the blade failed. There was some friction burn and quite a bit of roughness where it appeared to be pulling rather than cutting the wood grain. the price of the set is less than a bit on the local HD), but it didn't seem very good to me. A few other reviews have mentioned similar issues so I'm wondering if they had a batch with poorly heat treated cutting faces?

Pros
  • High quality materials, fine grain C3 tungsten carbide blades, high quality alloy steel body with anti-kickback protection, stands up to abuse and the test of time. Fused and heat resistant Teflon coating. Fully encapsulated and lubricated. The knives cut workpieces smoothly and ensure cleanliness and freedom from splinters. Suitable for making handmade boxes or other woodwork.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
