I cut this wall art for the wife out of a sheet of birch. I broke 3 harbor freight 1/8th inch bits before I found a Freud at home depot. The first attempt was 90 % complete when the mechanical fuse on the Ridgid gave out and the bit plunged all the way through the material. It cut a large chunk right out of the middle (no recovering from that). My down force bungee was out of calibration. Second run was a charm.
