Eli E. ★★★★★

The 8° angle cuts perfectly clean tails in my maple test pieces, and the carbide tips still look brand new after a dozen passes. This bit is a solid upgrade over the stock one that came with my jig.

Charlotte T. ★★★★★

The 1/4-inch shank fit snugly into my Leigh jig without any wobble. The 8-degree angle cut through hardwood cleanly with minimal tear-out.

Riley ★★★★★

Cutting test pieces came out crisp and clean on my Leigh jig, no tear-out at all. The 8° angle matches perfectly for tight half-blind dovetails.
