Infinity Cutting Tools, based in Clearwater, Fla., is a new company distributing cutting-tool products for woodworkers. Among its line of router bits is a rabbeting-bit set, part number 00-556, that includes a 1 3/8-in.-dia. cutter and seven bearings with diameters that range from 3/8 in. to 1 3/8 in. By changing bearings you can create six different rabbet widths: 1/8 in., 1/4 in., 5/16 in., 3/8 in., 7/16 in., and 1/2 in. Or, with the largest bearing installed, the cutter becomes a flush-trimming bit.

The bit has a 1-in. cutting length, which is longer than other rabbeting bits I’ve seen on the market. Keep in mind, though, that if the rabbet is also a wide one, some routers might not have the power to make the cut in a single pass. That said, I was able to cut a 1/2-in.-wide by 1-in.-deep rabbet in one pass, albeit a slow one, with a 2-hp router mounted in a router table.

Craftsman Random Orbit Sander

While this sander is among the least expensive models in the test, its performance ranks among the best. The stock removal was excellent, and dust collection was solid when used with a vacuum. It handles really smoothly, too, and has a tall body that fit my hand nicely whether I was holding it from above or around the waist.
