Description of CMT 651 695 11 Carbide Straight Diameter
1-3/16-Inch Cutting Length, 3-5/32-Inch Overall Length. Super-strength steel body and 1 carbide-tipped cutting edge. For work in laminated stock and hard and soft wood. Ideal for fast plunge cuts and other grooving applications. Use in CNC or portable routers.
As an industrial and scientific buyer I was thoroughly disappointed with this router bit. Through trial and error, I found that it was not efficient or durable enough for my projects.While it did provide clean cuts initially, the carbide quickly dulled and became useless. The only pro was the affordable price, but even that couldn't make up for the lackluster performance. Overall, i would not recommend this product..
This item seemed to be the answer to my CNC needs; Being able to change blades instead of changing the whole bit. Worked fine for a couple of weeks until the drill itself broke just above the blade. Now I have a couple of blades that are a bit broken. I hope it was a fluke and I'll buy another one (even if the price goes up $15 a month!). If the seller takes care of their customers, they refund me $ for the first one.
Pros
Ideal for quick plunge cuts and other grooving applications.
