Amana Tool 45481 Flush Trim/Pattern Plunge 1/2-Inch Diameter by 3/8-Inch Cutting Height by 1/4-Inch Shank Carbide Tipped Router Bit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There is one critical issue with this bit: bearing diameter is slightly smaller than cutter diameter. So, if you rout a shallow mortise, bit will cut into your template, or, worse, a jig. I ruined my mortising jig (worth many times more than this bit), before I noticed the problem.

This bit is essentially a plunge-cutting straight with a shank-mounted ball-bearing pilot. It is a versatile bit, useful for template/pattern routing of parts, joints, and internal cuts, and can be used in handheld and table-mounted routers. The template is attached to the workpiece, and the pilot bearing rides along its edge as the cutting edges rout the workpiece, forming an exact duplicate of the template. With a handheld router, the pattern is on top of the work; with a table-mounted router, the pattern is underneath the work.
