After TRYING this product I was unimpressed with its performance. While the carbide material did hold up well, the three flute compression design did not provide a clean cut and caused some burning on the wood .The only positive was the durability of the bit, but the poor cutting quality outweighed that. I would not recommend this particular router bit for anyone looking for precise and clean cuts..
Pros
Provides clean and precise cuts on a variety of materials including plywood and MDF.
Cons
Requires a higher initial investment compared to other router bits in the market.
What a wonderful device. Effortlessly cuts perfectly clean edges and floors. Unfortunately it broke after a week of use just because of my mishandling. I've read that many people say not to press too hard on carbide bits. Tried cutting a half inch into a 3/4 inch piece of plywood and it worked. Ruined the drill, the board and my expensive jig. I'm glad there wasn't a serious accident.
