    new router bit

    The guy at the woodworking store told me this new router bit cuts like glass!

    P.S. it has a tungsten element.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

          and I thought we'd have to wait another 11 days for this kind of post...

              uh, I threw it away already but I think it said 60 watts and 1250 foot-candles on the box it came in. Yeah, I'm sure of it.

                I tried round over some Jabota, **** thing broke even with a light pass. That Jabota is just to hard a wood. I will get one of the 13 watt CFL's and try a spiral cut.

                  Of course, Tom, I had to buy the 3- piece set, it was cheaper, only $5 a bit and it comes with two spiral (upcuts, apparently) and a large dovetail bit for fancy joinery and boxes.

                  And you're right, they are best suited for light work. Dark woods like Jatoba and walnut are less suited than light woods like maple or ash (obviously).

                    At least you didn't have any shadows on the work table!

                      PS I almost spit coffee all over my computer when I saw that. A very enlightening thread.

                        Have you patented this bright idea?

                              Have you tried the new Light Emitting Diode router bits? They cost a bit more up front, but they last a lot longer and are cheaper overall. and I'm LED to believe they are better.
