Efficient and Smooth Planing

According to my experience, this router bit is a game changer. It made planing a piece of cake, with its efficient and smooth results. It fit perfectly and did a great job aside from leaving little marks here and there. Its price may seem a bit high, but the quality is definitely worth it.

Pros
  • Produces smooth and even surfaces
Cons
  • Narrow diameter limits the width of materials that can be planed.

Smaller bits fit Power & Hand Tools

This bit is approximately 3/64" smaller than 3/4" so the slots machined with this bit will be too small. The cutting edge is also blunter than other bits in this price range.

Pros
  • Power & Hand Tools
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
