Hardwoods — oak, maple, cherry, walnut, ash, birch, hickory, and denser exotics like mahogany and teak — put more load on a bit than softwood or sheet goods. Density and grain structure mean the edge geometry has more to do with tool life here than with almost any other material category.
Solid carbide construction holds up to that load better than coated steel, particularly on production runs where the bit is in the cut for hours rather than minutes. Fine furniture, cabinetry, and architectural millwork are the typical use cases, where edge quality straight off the router matters because sanding it out later costs real time.
If you're working a hardwood we haven't listed specifically, the geometry here generally transfers — let us know the species and we can confirm.
