Amana Tool - 45475-S Carbide Tipped Flush Trim Plunge Template 3/8 Dia x 1/4 Sh

Ignore the folks that are breaking these bits. They’re forcing the bit at slow RPM and feeding toooo faaaaasssst. Run at very high rpm and move very slow to make sure you don’t chunk out and it cuts perfectly - very nice!!! This bit is for detail routing, it’s not for removing big chunks of wood. I’m using these to do you final passes on pickup routes for tight radiuses and it works perfectly!!! Make sure you take care of the bits by cleaning them up before putting them away and they’ll last a long time.

Durable, engineered and manufactured according to high standards. I use these great bits for mortising out hinges, strike plates, mostly, but they provide so many possibilities, with great accuracy, for a very reasonable price.

Came quickly, clean cut

I sliced the **** out of my finger when removing it from its sleeve and it wont stop bleeding. Super sharp, high quality bit

So I initially not happy because the cutting edge didn’t go all the way to the bearing… so if you have a thin template you can only cut about a 1/16” before stopping to trim the “lip” formed between the bearing and the cutting edge. Annoying, but not a deal breaker. Until the thing just snapped in half! I was routing an existing cavity slightly larger and wasn’t using much pressure. Maybe I just got a defective one, but I doubt it. The broken shaft was hollow!

awesome bit perfect for 1/2 thick Jigs , my only complaint is the box it came in ..... Really Amazon a 8x 14 x 7 box! did we run out of envelops

I was very excited to use this new bit. I started out by using another bit to remove all but maybe 1/4” deep then I was going to use my new bit to make the final pass. Plunged the bit in, made my cut and when I pulled up the router I saw the piece of blade among the sawdust in the new cut. It was maybe a 1/4” of wood, cut inside a small bow tie template and broke the first time, probably within 30 seconds. I’m disappointed because I have many templates that a need this small template bit for. Really hoping to find something i can use.

I love this template bit, and the other tools from this company that I have received. These are very sharp and clean cutting!

Cut fast, no kickback, easy to use.

Hard to find size . Good quality. A little expensive, but not many other choices.
