Who the heck needs a "V" bit made of high speed steel, not carbide?
Well, it's perfect for centering your router on a line to make a precision cut, which why I keep one of these around. Chuck the bit in your collet, finger-tightened. Set up your edge guide or guide rail and put the tip of the V right on the line you scored with your knife. Now pick up your router and replace the V bit with the one you're going to use to make that mortise or whatever.
For only $8.00 each, including shipping in a padded envelope within the U.S., it's nice to have one around when you're setting up to do precision work with your Festool router.
Measurements: 8mm shank, 90* angle, 14mm wide, 18mm cutting length, 48mm total length.
Catalogue number (for what it's worth) was 484 960--they're not in the current catalog because they haven't been sold for about four years.
As always, thanks for looking.
Regards,
John
