As a copywriter, I throw around words like "innovative" and "new" all too frequently...it's my job. So, when something is really different, it can be a challenge to get an audience's attention. I've tested and used a lot of router bits, particularly in the last couple years. The ones launching tomorrow are unlike anything I've ever used. They're 1-1/8" diameter pattern and flush trim bits (bearings both above and below) that are carbide tipped, with the carbide brazed at a shear angle, each successive blade reversing from up-cut to down-cut. So, unlike a compression bit where half the edge is being cut in each direction, the entire edge is being cut in opposing directions with each blade engagement. It gives the cleanest cuts I've ever made against the grain. I have this crazy batch of quilted maple that just won't behave with any router bit. It always tears out. These bits cut it like it was balsa and left a surface that I wouldn't touch with anything coarser than 150 grit sandpaper. It's the ellipse pattern in the product photos. Then we took some pics of a chair leg in white oak, two edges of which are going wickedly against the grain. No problem. Not a single chip.
Now, we make some pretty sophisticated solid carbide bits that make some very, very nice cuts. But there's a price to be paid for that performance.
These Alternating Shear bits sell for about half the price of a comparable solid carbide bit, and my personal opinion is the cut is superior. Longevity? That's about the only remaining question, but there's nothing to suggest it will be disappointing.
