KATANA router bit (5/5), Apr 27, 2010

By David G (Lincolnton NC US)

Hi. Just thought I'd drop you folks a note about one of your product lines. Several weeks ago I purchased one of the Katana router bits, # 17756 and finally got a chance to use it today. WOW!!! All I can say is fanfreakingtastic. I've used other bits by different mfg's. with reasonably satisfactory results. This Katana bit however slices through this heavy Maple I have here in NC like it was cheddar cheese. I work mainly with tree stumps and slabs to make tables and let me assure you, some of this stuff is murder on a cutting edge. After approx. 2 hours of pretty much non-stop use, I took the bit off my router and noticed there was a good deal of pitch residue covering it. I normally clean my bits with store brand fume-free oven cleaner so I sprayed this one down and let it soak for about 15 mins. Hit it with some hot water and my scrub brush and it's clean as new. Also, (and this is what gets me), IT'S STILL SHARP ENOUGH TO SHAVE WITH!! Now THAT'S performance. None of my other bits can even come close to this. Even my Freud bit can't go for more than an hour maybe before it needs honing. I'm sold on the Katana bits from you guys. I'll be ordering again pretty soon as I want a couple on hand just in case I get some extra days to play in the shop.

The Best (5/5), Oct 8, 2008

By Alan Konitzer (New Smyrna Beach FL US)

I bought this set a while back, and it still works as good as when I got it. I work with a lot of oak and maple, and the cutter has kept its edge through many feet of lumber. The bearings change quickly and are very accurate for width. This is one set you have to have; you'll use over and over.
