Customer Reviews for DIABLO 1/2 in. x 1 in. Carbide Straight Router Bit

Broke in two a foot or two in to use. I wanted to write it off as user error, except the 1/4” bit from the $35 for 5 bit ryobi pack ran like a champ for the remaining dozens of feet and is still going strong, without any change in my technique.

Reliable manufacturer.

Just what was needed

Great bit, work well, clean cut

Cut smooth. Though it Moved within collate when heated.

On my router table cutting Cabinet sides works well

This bit broke the first time I used it.

Grwat product at great price

Normally, I am very impressed with Diablo products (like their saw blades). But these things are absolute crap. I wanted a 1/2" shaft, but they don't have that so I had to get this 1/4" shaft. I used the first one to rout about 200 feet of fir 2x4's before it broke. Took it back to HD, where they refunded my money and sold me another for $10 off. That one broke after about 50 board feet. Took it back and exchanged for another, that one made it through the last 60 bf that I had left to do.

This bit was no exception to all my other Diablo bits. It works as intended and stays sharp.

Not the bit I thought it would be

DIABLO 1/4 in. x 1 in. Carbide Straight Router Bit

I've only used once and it did the job fine.

It held up extremely well even after misuse and abuse from a individual that has never used a router bit

It's a great bit, then I came back and got 2- 1/4 inch carbide up cut bits and they are much better for what I need.

Not that good of value. Get dull very quick.

wonderful product, did the job easy and smooth
