Some customers have experienced issues with the bit breaking during use or not performing well on softer wood species.
Highlights
Quality
This bit is very sharp, self cleaning and perfect when i use my trim router for door lock and knob installation.
The bit is high quality and so far has stayed nice and sharp.
Cut when the bit just seized up and stopped cutting.
Kept on cutting sharply when my other bits quit.
Price
Good buy for the money, stays sharp for a long time for meusing on hardwood.
Packaging/appearance
Came in a fancy plastic case - wish they had not wasted the money on that and dropped the price a little.
Competitiveness
The freud bits are the best router its in the business.
The bosch were good, but these are better and cost about the same.
Thats all i buy and buy them from amazon @ almost 1/2 the price as home depot and better than 1/2 the price as woodcraft!

My one word of caution to anyone new to routing is to clean the bit often as in every 50 linear feet or so if working with pine
