I have used this extension for 7 different bowl projects and found it to be quite reliable. I had no vibration problems and my 2.25hp router handled the bowl bit and extention without problems. I would recommend this product without reservation.

I had previously purchased an economy unit made in China that had .004 to .006 runout and would cause major vibration when running at 10,000 RPM. This CMT adapter ran smooth even at higher RPM's with very minimal runout.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too large to go with Freud dish carving bit, November 9, 2010

Bought this extension to use with a Freud bearing dish carving bit. The bearing on this is larger than the one on the bit, so you cannot go deeper than the bit will extend out of the extension. Extension is fine, but will not work with the Amazon recommended Freud bit. Buy a matching set from the same manufacturer.
