Manpa rotary carving bit review

[Cajunrider]

The bit came with 3 replaceable cutters. Each carbide cutter has 3 sides that you can rotate when one goes dull. The bit is extremely sharp. I didn’t experience much kickback because when applied under control, the bit cuts everything it touches. It is sold on Amazon for $63.

Yes! I was considering that too but someone in my family got me this one.

Words for the wise: Wear your cut proof glove when you use carving bits. They rarely cause severe injuries but will cut you in a heartbeat.

The Makita die grinder.

So I had an accident yesterday. I dropped my Makita die grinder and bent the bit. Now the grinder vibrates like crazy but the bit cuts super aggressively, however.

I would recommend goggles as well. A few years back I ended up in the ER to remove splinters from my eye when the router sent pieces of wenge flying.
