Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It's a bit counter intuitive if you don't know what you are doing. The bit itself is fine and works well but qc needs to look into this. This bit works well and very versatile.

The bit comes with two different washers. You have to make sure that you don't put the wrong washer on. Kit includes a spacer for flush trimming, which is accurate.

The carbide cutting edges are very sharp and it plows through the plywood effortlessly. I'm pretty sure the one side i cut that left a little tail (easily sandable) was because of the maple plywood, not dullness.



Cons

The bearings are unusable. Not even the flush bearing is right. The shims, screw, and bearings are all soft metal and haven't held up. Most serious, the bearings are junk.

    There’s not a great system for keeping all of the small parts so make sure you have something in mind for that part

    I havent seen any comments in the review so i assume this is a recent problem limited to a specific batch but definitely need to be aware of

    The screw that holds the bearing on the bit shaft was either overtightened or put in with red loctite
