Nicholas ★★★★★

I swapped out my old bit for this one and immediately noticed how much smoother the down-cut action is — almost no chip-out on the top surface of my plywood. The AstraHP coating seems to really help with heat buildup on longer runs. I’ve already got another one on order.

Ella ★★★★★

Cut a dozen sheets of 3/4" plywood on the CNC and the edges came out glass-smooth, no fuzz at all. The 1/2" shank feels rock solid in the collet, and the AstraHP coating is still holding up great with no signs of wear.

Andrew ★★★★★

The AstraHP coating on this down-cut bit really does cut cleanly through plywood without any fuzz along the edges, and the 1/2-inch shank gives it a solid, vibration-free feel in the router. Perfect for my CNC projects so far.
