WOW that must be a 1/4'' shank? I've never had a 1/2" shank do that. Thats why I only buy 1/2" shanks bits.

Re: Router Bits


Fine Woodworking did a comprehensive test on 18 profile bits from various manufacturers .
They were tested on performance by machining oak, pine, cherry,maple, mdf.
They concluded that Whiteside and Eagle bits were the best value and best overall performers.

complete article with test scores and prices are here:
