Trend CraftPro Straight Two Flute Router Cutter Bit, 1/4 Inch Shank, 4mm Cut Diameter & 11.1mm Cut Length, Tungsten Carbide Tipped, C002X1/4TC

This is one of the best router bits I have bought. Beautifully engineered, strong shoulders on the shank, and very sharp. With 2 flutes instead of just 1, it cuts very easily without vibration and no irregularities to ter the wood. I have found it excellent with both hard woods and pine. All round, an excellent bit.

I needed a top-notch cutter in a table mounted application to trim accurate rebates all around the edges of the body on my home build ukulele project, ready to take the wooden binding strips that protect the edges and give a nice decorative touch. The same technique applies to binding on acoustic guitars. The bottom and side cut combined were of interest as I new this would mean there was less risk of damage. As the top is made of spruce which is very soft and tears easily, it's crucial the cutter is sharp, especially as parts of the cut will be going "against" the grain if you follow me. I've heard sad stories of people getting this far in the build only to have the instrument damaged at this step... After much trepidation and careful set up, this cutter made light work of the task in hand and cut perfect edges all the way round - using a climb cut technique to go with the rotation of the cutter on the bits where the grain was oriented in such a way as to risk tear out, and then a conventional cut against the rotation on the rest of it. Zero problems whatsoever. Just the right tool for the job, and worth every penny.

Good quality sharp cut

Brilliant sharp bit. Delivered with ease.

Works well and give a good finish on hard and soft wood.

Great for the money. I use these on an 8x4 cnc machine cutting 15mm veneered ply. I can cut around 20 sheets before they get noisy. Have tried more expensive ones and they last about the same. These are my go to and have been for 8 years.

good purchase not used yet but looks good quality

Got a collection of different router bits from trend and this one was oriented with section for holding collet at the top, rather than at the bottom, strongly suggesting someone had messed about with this (sadly this one arrived first and the remainder later so it wasn't that immediately obvious).. Once I noticed this I spotted a minor blade defect mid blade and scratches near where cutter is held by router. I was wondering if this was trend dodgy qc but none of the other cutters had this issue (and 3 are in the same range) show any of the same signs. Spotted this too late for this time but I would suggest caution when accepting these in future - don't leave it as long as I did before inspecting the blade.

Bored mft holes nicely. Also used for some machining of grooves. Cleans up nicely between uses and still sharp after few hrs of use. Bench dogs fit nicely. Haven't made exact measurements of holes and dogs yet. Small gripe but wish it came in better packaging like CMT bits do...

Va benissimo per il servizio richiesto. Grazie

Nice sharp clean cutting bit 👍

Used this for tight-fitting dados for 9mm Baltic birch drawer bottoms. Seems well made and did the job well.

Suena muchísimo y las helicoidales no suenan
