As someone who has used a lot of router bits, I can confidently say that this one is impressive. The 64-inch cutting length makes it perfect for larger projects, and the precision of the cuts is unmatched .According to my experience, this bit works great on hardwoods and softwoods alike. The quality of this industrial and scientific tool makes it worth the investment. The only downside is the relatively high cost but you get what you pay for in terms of durability and performance..
