Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Madison ★★★★★

Finally found a bit with enough reach to hog out deep dados in one pass—cuts cleanly with no burning. The 2-1/2-inch length saves me serious time on projects like workbench legs.

Natalie ★★★★★

I’ve been needing a bit with this kind of reach for plumbing jigs, and the cut is glass-smooth even in dense oak. It held up through a full afternoon without any burning—definitely worth the extra cost for a quality bit.

Elizabeth Y. ★★★★★

That 2-1/2 inch cutting depth got me through a thick slab of walnut without any burning, and the bit stayed dead sharp the whole time. I was surprised how smoothly it cleared chips compared to my old straight bit.
