Silverline 719769 Kitchen Router Bit Set 4pce 1/2" / 1/4"

As a budget level tool bit don't expect a long life for the cutting edges. I purchased these bits for one off cuts to a second hand work surface in my backroom of the shop. I didn't want to ruin any of my Freud bits. Initial cuts were pretty good tbf but after about 2 or 3 meters' worth of cuts each they were blunt or chipped.I would say for light work in natural soft woods and with care they would last a good deal longer. But for kitchen worktops or hard woods? Maybe a one off but don't expect perfect cuts or to use them again.

Good quality

Good quality bits for the price you cannot go wrong, I’ve cut 3 kitchen worktops with one of the bits and it’s starting to go blunt already but for the price of these I’m still very happy.

Only managed one worktop cut with each bit. Following the instructions down to a tee and only cutting 8mm maximum at a time. Cheap but did the job although they burn out easily.

I needed a set of cutters to complete my kitchen DIY project. I wanted a set that were good enough to prepare two solid oak worktops with cut-outs for sink and hob and finish the edges and joints, but I also knew that I'd probably never use them again after that. I used the cutters that came with my router (Silverline 1/2 inch router) on scrap for practice and then these for the cuts on the actual worktop.The key thing to know about this product is that using them I've produced two very nice solid oak worktops which are now installed in my kitchen.I'm no expert at using a router so as soon as I felt the edge was going off a blade I replaced it and took my time and worked slowly. This means that the set probably wouldn't have done a third worktop - but then these are cheap enough to buy another set!

After after second go with ease I was using the flat piece with the bearing the bearing come off and the piece went straight through that piece of timber messing it up

Started on my worktops today using these bits.Large kitchen and found they burned out quite quickly even going super slowly and carefully.To be fair the worktops are Premium grade so laminate will be thicker.Basically it’s the laminate that burns the cutting edge out, they had no trouble cutting the chipboard.Would be just fine for a smaller kitchen or do what I did and ordered two sets of bits.

I normally cut worktops with a 12.7mm bit at 25,000 rpm but was surprised to see these have max 10,000 rpm printed on the shafts. I risked 25,000 and they worked ok but wore out quite quick, but ok for the price.
