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

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

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

Used this to make dutchmans to fill in for where door hinges were. Good product for the money

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

Decided I wanted to have smaller radius edges on a set of stairs I was building vs the somewhat boring bullnose treads you usually see. This bit held up for 4 stair stringers to cut the small radius to fit the treads into. Did a great job and the results were worth the extra work!

I bought 2 of these bits wich was tough to swallow at that price point but i needed to clean out some corners on a hardwood project and wanted an easier way than chisel... bit dulled almost instantly, bit snapped at the bearing before i could clean the first corner. Grabbed the second one and it lasted till 3rd corner and also snapped.... my other amana bits are great but these have a weak link

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.

Should preface that mesquite is the wood being used to review this bit, but it only lasted for about an hour of cumulative use before the bearing was no longer reliable. Will still serve just fine in the router table taking tiny bites on pieces that can use the fence as a guide, but wont be using this one for template work anymore.

These are great for the first couple of minutes. The bearings will fall apart in literally two or three minutes, and if you’re lucky, you won’t ruin your project. Start with a larger bit and bearing , and clean up your work with this bit. That way you can get at least part of it done before the bearings go bad.

Came quickly, clean cut
