Noticed how cleanly the cut edges come out on hard maple, the bearing gliding along the template without any chatter. The AstraHP coating seems to be doing its job so far, no buildup after a full afternoon of profiling. It's the bit I reach for whenever a project calls for a smooth 1/2-inch roundove
