Just like before the tool delivered a solid performance in cutting a clean path with my router. I would buy another one but if history is any indication it will be a long while before that’s required.

This is not my first Diablo router bit, and like the others this one worked very well, just like I expected it would. Diablo makes decent products. I have a lot of their saw blades and never had a problem. Their sanding products are very good also. I definitely would buy their products again.

Diablo is the way to go, the sharpest and longest lasting brand on the market.

Works perfectly.

It is an effort to open the package. Enough so that I will try not to buy more.

The bit cut very clean and has stayed sharp through out my project. I was cutting edges off of hard red oak. Cheap bits were lasting about 30 minutes before getting dull and hot.

Good bit. stayed sharp all through my project.

Worked perfectly! No complaints at all. My only issue was how much I spent on the cheaper Ryobi bits and continuously broke those. Should have spent a little more from the start.

I inherited a number of older woodworking power tools from an uncle of mine. In this group of tools was a great early 90’s router. It came with a router bit already installed, but, it was rusty and wasn’t the size I needed. While scoping out the bits at HD, I came across the Diablo 1/4 in x 1 in carbide straight router bit. It was exactly what I needed. When I got the bit home, I realized I needed to do some maintenance to the old router. I oiled it down, cleaned it off (not in that order) and removed the old bit. Happy with the fact that the old router had some life left in it, I was pleased with the idea of firing it up with a brand new bit installed. That’s when I discovered problem number one of two issues with the bit, both having to do with packaging. The bit comes in a modified clam shell that seems to be ultrasonically sealed. It requires the use of either scissors (very sharp scissors) or other blade like instrument to extricate the bit from the packaging. That’s when it first drew blood! I opted for the later, a utility knife to free the bit. In doing so, the packaging’s resentment for my choice of tools became clear as in one pass of the blade the packaging bit into my finger drawing what to my eyes was nearly a quart of blood. While another man would have been phased by this blood letting I knew that this was just part of working with a bit named “Diablo.” After I regained consciousness, and the bit was free of the packaging, I realized there was still one more hurtle for me to free the bit, the holder the bit was standing in. This shouldn’t have been a problem, but the stand was relenting to forgo it’s hold on “El Diablo.” As I pried and prodded the bit with various tools, it struck me that I should just use my fingers and take hold of the bit to remove it. When I came too, I had probably lost another quart of blood, but El Diablo was free!!!
