Christopher ★★★★★

The AstraHP coating on this bit really does keep it cutting cooler, I noticed way less burning on cherry than with my old uncoated beading bit. The 3/8 beading profile is perfect for the face frames I've been building, clean shoulders every time.

Victoria ★★★★★

Ran this along a set of poplar shelf edges and the beading came out glass smooth with zero tearout, even across the end grain. The AstraHP coating really does seem to keep it slicing cleaner than my old uncoated bit. Bearing spins free and the cut depth stayed dead consistent across about 40 feet of

Aurora B. ★★★★★

The AstraHP coating really does make a difference — after a few hundred feet of oak the edge is still slicing clean beads with no burn marks. I ran it along some cherry drawer fronts and the 3/8" profile came out crisp right off the bit, barely any sanding needed.
