TIDEWAY Cove Box&Core Router Bit, Round Groove Nose Router Bit Solid Carbide For Woodworking ，11/16’’ Radius x 1-3/8'' Dia. x 1/2 inch Shank (1/2X1-3/8)

I used this 9/16" radius (1-1/8" diameter) router bit to rough out the edge radii on the bottom edge of a large fireplace mantle made from Eastern White Pine. The final radius was 5/8", and I had an expensive European-made professional grade 1-1/4" bit to do the finish cuts. The radii were cut full width to a depth of 3/4", with the excess wood on the outsides of the routed steps sawn off after the radii were done. This bit probably 98% of the material removal, in decreasing 1/4" to 1/16" steps, leaving only about 1/32" of material on the bottom and the mantel-side of the radii to be removed by the European-made 1-5/8" bit. When I was done this bit was still sharp, and the (new) expensive bit was chipped on one flute. Impressive.

Very sharp, I have been using it to "cup" ends of wood baseball bats.

I had very low expectations for this bit, however it meet all the exception I have for bits costing 3-4 times as much. I need to add a drip tray to my cutting board and was hoping this bit would make it through a one time use. It cut smooth and produces clean channel in the board. I will be buying more bits from Tideway.

Nice and sharp, worked great for cutting finger grooves in the edges of an end grain oak cutting board I built. I was worried about burning since oak is really hard but it made a nice clean cut.

Yep I agree, Tideway, never heard of it. It's a keeper. I'm making 66 feet of white oak Crown Moulding and needed a new 1/2 in shank bit before I started. It's carbide tipped, cuts smooth and preforms like a champion. Compared to most of the name brands it preforms the same and costs half the price.

Needed this specific size for a project and this was absolutely perfect for the job! It was very solid and very sharp, making a perfect cut. For the money, I wasn't expecting something this good - figuring that if it lasts just long enough for this project, it's not a lot of money lost. But, this bit will last much longer and for the money, you cannot go wrong! I'm very happy!

Ordered double flute, description says double flute, package says double flute, but it is a single flute bit. Admittedly the ad pic is single flute, but pics are often generic. You can see my pic that it is single. Returning it.

compared to name brand this was much less expensive, I needed to cut a 2" cove perfect for the job. I used it on Poplar and cannot say how it would do on something harder but the cut was smooth as butter, very pleased.

I used this bit hard by cutting a 1 inch deep mortis down the centre of two 12 foot two by fours. They were moulding to cover a 3/4 inch air line. It worked and held up well and was as sharp when I finished as when I started. I would buy it again.

The bit looked to be of decent quality, and made a nice sharp finish when used in a cnc router. I did some deep cuts and it held together well. Best if you do a finishing pass with any deep cut.
