Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I just purchased this bit today from my local Woodcraft store at a price greater than the suggested list price, but it was worth every penny.
My wife and I are working on a sink cut-out in a Paperstone counter top, doing a final flush cut to the already mounted under-mount sink. The material is extremely dense, and we broke the bearings off of two other bits, one USA made that took off about half the material before breaking, and the other a China made one that lasted only about 5 minutes. Both of the other bits had burn marks on their carbide blades, but the CMT finished the job and came out completely clean (no burn marks). The CMT also cut with much less pressure and produced nice large slivers of material instead of dust. The resultant surface was noticeably smoother than with the other bits. It was also quieter.
We were using a Milwaukee 3.5 HP router with D handles with this bit. The speed was turned down to the lowest setting, 10,000 RPM.
Now that I've tried CMT, any future bit purchases will be CMT as long as I can find them. Enjoy!
