> 3 dayI made a test cut with this bit on a piece of Gaboon Ebony to see how it fared. It cut clean and held its edge even on that brutal wood, albeit I only ran about 12in/305mm. Being coated carbide, I expect that itll hold up well if it made it through that first run without immediate dulling. As with any router bit, RPM and feed speed are critical in getting the best results. I ran this at 25,000 rpm on my router table and fed the workpiece by hand, feeling for the proper speed. Only experience can guide you if youre feeding it by hand. If youre fortunate enough to have a CNC, follow the appropriate guidelines for the material youre cutting for best results.
