TrendCraftPro Guided Profiler Router Cutter Bit, 1/2 Inch Shank, 50mm Cut Diameter & 24.2mm Cut Length, Tungsten Carbide Tipped, C214X1/2TC

use this bit to free hand door latches and hinges. brilliant bit and have had no issues so far after fitting 10 doors . still has loads of life in it.

This cutter is so much better than my other cutters. It cruises through the wood with ease.

These Trend bits are good quality at an affordable price. You get what you pay for, of course, and I think these strike the right balance for the hobbyist. Produces a nice clean, accurate cut, though I don't use them all that often so cannot comment on durability.

Useful router bit

Worked as it should

This was purchased to router locks and hinges in a door and it worked a treat. The bit was sharp and I had no issues with it. I did 7 doors and it's still sharp and going strong.

Great price, great quality

I was originally using a hole saw to cut holes in my boards but every time i'd get horrendous splintering. Decided to get this bit to do a proper job. After getting some jigs laser cut this worked perfectly. It's not a plunge bit mind so keep moving as you route if you don't want to drill a hole.The finish was amazing. I was doing holes and slots and it looked like a perfect machined cut. Really crisp edges and smooth bores. Honestly made doing holes and slots ten times better.Just be careful how you move with it when doing a full depth cut as it can sometimes catch and move more than you might expect but I never experienced it jumping at all, and even when it caught the cut was still clean.I'd recommend the bit if you doing jig work, especially if you're looking for a clean cut.
