RE: V - router bits - Turner52 - 02-15-2019
I posted a thread in woodturning about this. Thougt I would repost here. Used a v-bit to route some inlays in a corian bowl I am making. When I went to glue in the inlays I found I had to recut them. The v-bit was off by almost 5 degrees. Checked another bit I had and it was not 90 degrees either. Does anyone have a brand they use and are sure they are acurate? Thanks.

What brand are your bits?
RE: RE: V - router bits - Turner52 - 02-16-2019
The one I used is red, so probably a Diablo. The othe one I checked was a Ryobi.

I did a post yesterday and it did not show up.
First I would make sure it is your bit and not you either going to fast or taking off to much material. This is a bit I use and it has been very accurate for using it in wood with no gaps

I generally prefer Whiteside bits. May be a little more expensive, but always been happy with the result. One place to purchase them is Holbren: https://www.holbren.com/
You could contact the owner, Brian. and ask him to check the angle. He also used to give a 10% discount to WoodNet members. You can ask if that's still in place.
(BTW, I have no connection to Holbren other than being a customer.)

Ah yes I forgot about Brian and he is a Woodnetter to and very honest and good to work with and gets busy.

Thanks for the advice. I will buy those bits.
