Diamond Drag Bit

Post by LouF »

Does anyone know where I could purchase a good diamond drag bit that would fit my Hitachi M12? I was looking at one on Amazon but some of the user on CNC face book said they got bad ones.

I believe your router is a 1/2" collet so you can check either at widget works or shopbot. They are $179
there are others on ebay as well.

Save your $$ and get the ebay one would be my advice, virtually no difference if any.

I never paid attention to degree and not sure what if any options there are, have been using it successfully for years
