John E. ★★★★★

Cut through some hard maple today with this bit and the 1/2-inch shank gave me zero vibration or chatter. The rabbet came out glass-smooth with no burning, even on the end grain.

Samuel M. ★★★★★

The AstraHP coating on this bit really helps reduce heat buildup, so I can take multiple passes without worrying about burning the wood. Cuts are smooth and consistent right out of the box.

Thomas M. ★★★★★

The AstraHP coating on this bit really helps the cuts stay clean even after several passes. I was surprised at how smoothly it sliced through some dense oak for a shelf edge. Exactly the stability I needed from that half-inch shank.
