Disappointing Results from Carbide Tipped Router Bit

After trying this Industrial and Scientific router bit, I found that it didn't live up to the hype. Despite the carbide tip, I had trouble getting it to make clean cuts and the bit quickly became dull. The only positive was the initial sharpness, but that didn't last long. Overall, not worth the investment.

Pros
  • Sharp carbide tipped blade for precise and easy cutting
Cons
  • Requires a specialized saw or equipment to use

Excellent bits for milling plywood in windows and doors.

Excellent bits for routing plywood into window and door openings in a new wall. However, they are a bit overpriced in my opinion as they don't last much longer than the cheaper brands.

Pros
  • Finish
Cons
  • Slightly chipped
