I purchased a router bit and on delivery I find that it does not have cutting tips (for my triton plunge router) the blade is 62mm long with half inch shank, straight cutter.
Would readers recommend i return cutter .
I feel the cutter is only suitable for planeing.

What sort of cutter is it? Are you missing the "bit info sheet" and not the carbide tips :confused:
If you're talking of the thick tips (and negative shear angle) on the end of the bit - associated with good mortising bits - then its a different story. Not all straight bits have this, but they are still generally capable of plunge routing none the less, especially 1/2" bits. What makes them capable is that the tips protude a very small amount (unlike mortising bits with large tips).
