FivePears Finger Joint Router Bit with 1/2" Shank,Reversible Finger Joint Glue Joint Router Bit for Woodworking

Good spindle size

This is one beefy router bit! I needed a bit to do joining of stair treads to a bullnose on the end of the tread. They make these types of stair treads, but they are about double the price and I already had a few treads that did not have the bullnosed end. There are also a few that wrap around posts, etc, that needed some special fitting. I was worried that this bit would have a ton of rip-out and chipping, but I was pleasantly surprised that it cut into the bullnose like butter and exited just as cleanly. Be aware that this bit has a 1/2” shaft and will require the proper collet to use safely. Other than that, setup was a breeze. Since the cuts were so clean, it was easy to setup for the opposing pattern on the stair treads. You could easily see the exact corner to line up to. After the cuts were complete, it was pure joy when the two sides fit perfectly. Fellow woodworkers know the exact feeling. I’m not entirely sure that I need glue, this bit functioned so well… OK, maybe I’ll add a little glue. If you need a mating bit, this one is perfect.

These bits worked well with the 1/2 inch shank. I have a variable speed router so I ran these a little slower because the bits have a larger diameter. They are sharp so they cut oak easily. For the price they are a decent set. I used the single cutter bit only to cut a dado into the inside of a curved drawer front to accommodate the 1/4 inch drawer bottom. Im happy with the bits.
