Trend CraftPro Straight Two Flute Router Cutter Bit, 1/4 Inch Shank, 6.3mm Cut Diameter & 25.4mm Cut Length, Tungsten Carbide Tipped, C008X1/4TC

I needed a top-notch cutter in a table mounted application to trim accurate rebates all around the edges of the body on my home build ukulele project, ready to take the wooden binding strips that protect the edges and give a nice decorative touch. The same technique applies to binding on acoustic guitars. The bottom and side cut combined were of interest as I new this would mean there was less risk of damage. As the top is made of spruce which is very soft and tears easily, it's crucial the cutter is sharp, especially as parts of the cut will be going "against" the grain if you follow me. I've heard sad stories of people getting this far in the build only to have the instrument damaged at this step... After much trepidation and careful set up, this cutter made light work of the task in hand and cut perfect edges all the way round - using a climb cut technique to go with the rotation of the cutter on the bits where the grain was oriented in such a way as to risk tear out, and then a conventional cut against the rotation on the rest of it. Zero problems whatsoever. Just the right tool for the job, and worth every penny.

Used this a lot and has remained sharp. Quick delivery.

They were totally fine cutting 6 bolt holes and trimming 11 meters of edges of 28mm oak worktop. It has been some years since I used a router and these are not going to be as long lasting as my older bits had been. I'm not at all certain they are sharpen-able. Still and all- good value for money if you're just doing some pretty serious DIY.

This is a replacement router bit from another supplier. Seems to be a much better quality product.

Used for making MFT top & it’s deadly accurate. All dogs fit really well just like the original ones did. Made 4 tops now for family & still going strong. Has cut over 400 plunges in 18mm MDF

This router bit is double edged, with the tungsten edge brazed on, and not a single edged cutter stuck on with epoxy like cheaper bits are made. I had a job to do I used a cheaper bit, from a 1/4" set from Amazon, 3mm wide and it broke. The bit did not cut particularly well and built up a lot of heat cutting through acrylic, leaving hot swarf stuck in the grooves. Using this bit, the cut was much cleaner, faster, leaving a better result - and it didn't snap! The first bit snapped after cutting 1 and half slots through acrylic out of 8 I needed to cut through 10mm acryclic. Sure this cost 3/4 the price of my router bit set, but the quality was worth it for the job. Oh yeah, and it cuts a slot about 4mm when you include router slack, is 3.2mm wide, just like my old cheaper bit.

The 'quarter/quarter/ quarter joint ( see my drawing) is a fast way of making a box out of plywood: recommended in many US YouTube videos. However, in UK and other european countries plywood 1/2 inch thick is rarely obtainable. If you want to use the commoner 12mm thick ply, you can use a 1/4 inch straight router bit, but the distance S has to be 5.65mm, which makes it difficult to set the distance of the bit from the fence. This item, from a UK manufacturer, allows all the dimensions in the drawing to be cut to 6mm, but the tool fits all the US-made routers ( 1/4'' shank) .

Very accurate cutting tool. I use this to groove for drawer base inserts

Bored mft holes nicely. Also used for some machining of grooves. Cleans up nicely between uses and still sharp after few hrs of use. Bench dogs fit nicely. Haven't made exact measurements of holes and dogs yet. Small gripe but wish it came in better packaging like CMT bits do...

Va benissimo per il servizio richiesto. Grazie

Nice sharp clean cutting bit 👍

Used this for tight-fitting dados for 9mm Baltic birch drawer bottoms. Seems well made and did the job well.

Good quality cutter ...need 2 runs at max depth
