can this bit plunge cut?

I suppose it could, though not designed for that. I think that a true plunge cut bit might have a bit more offset and grind on the leading (bottom) edges for relief. If looking for a plunge cut bit, why not buy one and save the money....I'm sure the bearing costs extra and you wouldn't need it.

Yes it can, but considering the diameter of the cutters, that should be performed very slowly using a good sized plunge router.

Not straight through. You must move router back and forth and go down gradually.

No. It is very long and the bottom does not have a continuous cutting edge.

Yes, it is great for top mounted pattern jig.It is a Freud and they have great staying sharp. But if you are cutting through a lot of plywood, you will dull the bit faster.

Yes. The plunge base will accept standard bushings. However, the fixed base will not.

Depends on the length of your tool. The Plunge base has 2" of travel total with an adjustable stop. Retracted the collet of the router is about 2" above the base. All the way down, 2", and the tool holder collet of the router is just slightly above the bottom of the plunge base so no part of the collet is below the base. So the depth it will cut totally depends on the length of the cutting tool.

That I'm not sure of because I haven't attempted it myself. As far as cutting no I don't believe that will work, but it would burn it off. As for the sealing bit it might be able to, but I'd suggest watching your settings if you try because if its too high you might just end up burning through it rather then sealing it off.

I think it will, especially the larger bits sizes, but you need to use lots of water to cool down the bit while cutting.

I think the maximum safe depth is 7/8". You might be able to extend the bit and blade to one inch, but I don't think you could cut 1-1/4 inches deep.The blade is not long enough.

I would not recommend using this bit with anything other than a drill press.

My husband says with the right bit, it should work fine. He has used it to drill into concrete. Hope this helps.

yes with no problem.... you would need to use a straight cut bit, 1/4" or maybe even a little smaller 1/8" just take it easy and it would work fine.. you can do some amazing things with this tool.... you ought to see some of the artwork I have done with it.....

You do not need a plunge, because you are running the edges. A plunge is used for dropping your cutting bit down on the face. If you try without a plunge it will almost always jump around on you destroying the piece you are milling.

No. This is a router, not a carving tool. Way to many RPM's to handle that small of shank with any pressure applied at all. Not only would it be a potential breakage of a bit shaft it would be a potential dangerous way to operate the tool. There is a reason that they do not offer it as an accessory...

No. You need a special apparatuses that attaches to the Drill press. It holds the chisel portion and keeps it from spinning. For years this was the only way to make a Mortise with a machine. Delta makes them. Most prefer the dedicated bench top mortise machines. Search for drill press mortise attachment, or similar terminology. If you have this attachment already, then yes any bit will work in it.

Not exactly sure about the largest bit this tool will accept (maybe about 3/4").You will probably need to check on a much larger tool.

Yes. Just be sure to use the proper bit and go slowly, clearing your swarf (chips and dust) often. Check the cheat sheet riveted to the top cover for suggested speeds for your bit size.

Yes, just run water on the bit while you cut. I used them on granite slabs and they worked great.

Absolutely... oil or cutting fluid is a must or the bits will overheat and dull very quick.

Yes. Just wait until you get the tap before you drill the hole... To make sure your bit is the same size... There are large washers included
