David ★★★★★

The AstraHP coating really makes a difference—this bit stays cool and clean through a full run of oak mortises, and the 3/4-inch cutting diameter leaves edges so crisp I barely had to sand. Cuts exactly where I guide it, no drift or chatter even in harder wood.

Edward ★★★★★

The 1/2-inch shank gives this bit a solid feel in the collet, and the AstraHP coating actually seems to help the chips clear better than uncoated bits I've used.

Ruby ★★★★★

Cut two dozen 3/4-inch mortises in white oak this weekend and the 1/2-inch shank didn’t wander a bit. The AstraHP coating’s held up so far with no gumming, even after a full afternoon of routing.
