7° Schwalbenschwanzfräser – 17/32″ Durchmesser x 1/2″ Schaft – Whiteside D7-531 (AstraHP beschichtet)

The AstraHP coating really lives up to the hype—it's been sliding through walnut and maple without any burning, and the 7° angle leaves a crisp, tight joint every time. I've probably got twenty drawers' worth of cuts on it now and it still feels brand new.

Cut through a dozen test boards of hard maple and the edges came out glass-smooth, no burning at all. The 1/2-inch shank held rock solid in my router table, and that 7° angle made the joints seat together perfectly on the first try.

Finally got clean, crisp tails on my walnut drawer boxes after switching to this bit—the 7° angle cuts smoothly and the 1/2-inch shank holds rock steady in my router table. Sharp right out of the box, and the AstraHP coating kept it cutting cool through a dozen test joints.
