Flawed Router Bit Falls Apart Easily

This industrial and scientific router bit has a major flaw - it falls apart easily. While the surface bearing diameter initially seemed sturdy enough for various woodworking projects, it quickly fell apart with minimal use. The only pro is that it initially seemed well-made, but the con is that it proved to be incredibly unreliable and not worth the investment.

Pros
  • Accurate surface bearing measurements can be obtained with this product.
Cons
  • The product requires proper maintenance to ensure its accuracy and longevity.

very high quality in trim

Suitable for shells but also perfect for segmented staves if you're doing 12-sided stuff. 15 degrees is the measure that makes it useful.

Pros
  • CMT bits have been recognized as the best compared to other brands (Wood Magazine test).
Cons
  • No instructions

Revain bolts best into fairing

The bit is fine, nothing wrong with that. The problem is Amazon. After the order got messed up 3 times I canceled it. Only to get to another order which I placed 3 weeks later for something else. And used my credit card without my permission. I think the quality drops as you get to the big one.

Pros
  • Anti-kickback design for depth of cut control and safe operation.
Cons
  • weak
