The first one broke fairly quickly, but it cut a long line of pieces without a break and worked for about half an hour. The second bit broke on the second pass through the first part. Another brand also broke earlier. Cut scrap plywood, heavily weathered, for use in jigs. Hopefully when I switch to new plywood for my actual projects I won't encounter this breakage…

I do some CNC work so I use a lot of quarter inch bits as that's one of the most common sizes. use. It's amazing how a stripped down $40 beat only lasts a couple of sessions and then wears off. Lately I've switched to 2 flutes instead of the standard up or down cut bits. This particular lure is instantly much hotter than some of the others I've tried, Timerline, Whiteside, CMT. SMT is one of the worst. A session that lasted several hours became somewhat blunt. I'm happy to report that this is…
