Tools and Hardware Reviews of General Tools 55 Heavy Duty Circle Cutter

Customer Review: Great Product, Almost Perfect
Summary: 4 Stars

I needed to cut several circular holes in a weather station project - read all the reviews and decided, for the price, that I would give this Circle Cutter a try. Here is the good and the not so good:

Pro:
1. Right Price.
2. Quick Delivery.
3. Well made (sturdy), should last for years and years (may have to sharpen).
4. Holes were perfectly circular, smooth and easily cut through 3/4" walnut veneered plywood - no chipping at all.
5. Easy to adjust.

Con:
1. No instructions to speak of - didn't even mention what speed to run my drill press. Had I not noticed, in the Amazon description, that max speed was 500 RPM, I might have let it run a bit faster. As it was, I did notice the limitation and set up my drill press to run at 450 RPM - cut smoothly with no burning.
2. The scale is inaccurate - you will have to use a ruler/tape measure to adjust the size (diameter) you want to cut.

All in all, for the price, this is a great product and I'm pleased with my purchase. I would have given it 5 stars but for the inaccurate scale - this is something that should have been right.

Note: I read the other reviews and noted at least one that mentioned burning - I'll bet this was because he didn't note the 500 RPM limitation. I had zero burning.
