Ultra∙Shear Carbide Insert Slab Flattening Spoilboard Bits.

Surfacing rough sawn slabs with a router requires a cutter that delivers a smooth, flat cut over a wide area. That cutter also has to deal with crazy grain switches and wide variations in depth of cut. The Ultra∙Shear Carbide Insert Slab Flattening Spoilboard Bit uses three nano-grain carbide inserts mounted  in a precision-turned solid steel body to deliver exceptionally smooth cuts a full 2” wide with each pass on your slabs. And when the edges finally wear,  just turn the inserts to a fresh edge and get right back to work.  Each insert is sharpened on 4 edges. When you've gone through all 4, just buy a new set of inserts and you’re ready to go. The body will last forever.

Replaceable carbide inserts originated in metal working. Woodworkers first embraced them in turning tools, and now more and more are showing up in router bits. The insert in the Ultra∙Shear Slab Flattening Bit has a 2" radius crown on each edge. The inserts mount to the body at an angle that puts the outside corner tangent to the cutting plane. This results in a shear-cutting action that delivers clean cuts in even the craziest grain patterns.
