2pcs 1/4 Shank Extra Long Straight Router Bit 2" 3" Long Cutting Trimming Cutter for Woodworking

Cheap and cheerful so expect vibration. If these things start screaming the shaft will shatter so use with caution. When the screaming starts just back off the cut and they will last.

The first time I used the bit it came out of the collet, luckily it did not hit me.The shaft was bent!I am new to routing so it may have been my fault for having too high a speed.Some instruction would have been useful.

Used to cut a worktop join and they did a good job

Yep they're cheap, but they're still not worth it. As with other reviewers the long one instantly bent and took a good size chunk out of my almost finished table :( The other one survived use but is not well balanced so was as smooth as a hammer drill.If like me, you've read the bad reviews and thought these folk just don't know how to use a router, or are pushing the bit too hard, it's not true, these generally are really crap.

First time I used these I made a real hash job of my project and put it down to these bits being cheap items. NOT SO. My router experience was nil at the time so I soon learned that turning down the router speed and attempting to sheet less deeply produced near perfect results

Pretty poor quality but it is what you pay for i guess

Bought a these to rout out as inset for a bespoke jewellers desk made from 40mm oak.I thought was being optimistic as I would have ideally used a 1/2" router for such thick hard wood but couldn't get hold of one. So having read some of the the reviews I figured I'd play it safe and order two sets (four cutters in total).Have to say I only used two and I only swapped at tye final cut to make sure it was as smooth as possible coming through the top of the wood but there wasn't any need really as the first blade was still going strong.I think sometimes people push cheap bits too hard but they can serve you well if you are careful, yes only go shallow (at most 5mm per pass, I did 3-4mm per pass) but also be careful of the speed. If you're using max speed your bit will soon heat up, bind against the wood and dull. I ran my router about half speed and had no issues at all.Just have to be patient.

These bent the first time they were used. Poor quality sadly not fit for use.
