Cheap and unreliable router bit.

Based on my observations, this router bit is a poor choice for anyone making industrial cuts. THE carbide tip dulls quickly and needs frequent replacements. The bit also struggles to maintain its position, which leads to uneven and inconsistent cuts. .

Pros
  • Cheap
Cons
  • Unreliable.

Good tailor. Clean straight cut.

Works great. A good sharp cutter to lighten the edge on the face frame to make the color hold better. It would be better with a smaller guide bush so you can get closer to the inside corners.

Pros
  • For simple tasks like smoothing out sharp corners
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
