RestorationAD Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Ummm.... that looks dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Yep, it definitely needs a guard over the shank and collet at the very least. Still, I guess that was for the photo perhaps. I presume that you noticed the collar around the cutter is a bearing also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpm99 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 It's an idiot proof rounding bit! Unfortunately, they found the one idiot that's gonna screw it up and used him for the photo. I like it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it... still looks like it has the potential to be a real "Urgent Care" trip maker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Ross Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Apparently, that's how it's meant to be used... "The bit is specifically designed for freehand routing" Yikes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpm99 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 If you think about it, there's no other good reason for that upper bearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpm99 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Do tell. I'm not catching this one....! I just mean that if you set the depth right on your router, be it overhead or on a table, the surface of the plate/table will do the same job the upper bearing is doing. I guess if you're routing across a curved surface with an uneven radius, like a boat paddle, it might be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
