Isabella ★★★★★

Cutting mortises for 5/8-inch hinges with this bit was incredibly clean—no tear-out on the hardwood I was using. The 1/2-inch shank fit my router table perfectly and felt really solid.

Thomas ★★★★★

The carbide tips on this bit are razor-sharp out of the box and sliced through a dozen hinge mortises in oak without any burning. It seats perfectly in my router table, and the 1/2-inch shank gives you rock-solid stability for this type of work.

Sebastian ★★★★★

I've burned through a lot of cheap bits over the years, but this one cuts clean, sharp mortises for 5/8-inch hinges without any tear-out. The 1/2-inch shank feels solid in the router table, and after a full cabinet set, it's still holding an edge.
