Amana Tool Carbide Cleaning Upshear Cutting Tools Review

After trying out this carbide cleaning router bit, I am impressed with its effectiveness in quickly removing residue from my woodworking projects. The upshear cutting design ensures a clean and smooth cut, leaving little to no clean up necessary. Plus, the durability of this bit means I won't have to replace it anytime soon. However, the price may be a drawback for some entry-level woodworkers. Overall, a great investment for those in the industrial and scientific cutting tools industry.

Made 3 passes 3/4" deep grooves with a hand mill. The 1/4" shank is strong enough for the job. I've had other 1/4" shank bits that bend and break on much lighter work. Worth the money in my book.

A cutter this massive probably shouldn't be made with a 1/4" shank. I used it in the slide and made very flat passes when it got stuck and bent. Replace it not because they said it was user error, same error was paying that much for a router bit.
