Pros & Cons
Pros
Tried and tested. Also, prompt, well packaged shipping.
Very nice dovetail from freud, delivers nice clean cuts. This bit produces a much cleaner cut than the porter cable bit it replaces. However, it still produces less vibration over smaller shank, resulting in a cleaner smoother cut.
Would buy again and would not hesitate to buy other freud router bits as needed. Fits my router template just fine. Not sure about longevity yet but great so far.
Used with my ancient p-c router and dovetail * to make some drawers. Haven't used it yet to make dovetail. It's a fine compromise for getting this bit in a 1/4in collet.
Cons
I have yet to get this dovetail to work for either hard or soft woods (oak - cedar) did about eight 5 wide test cuts.

I'm using this to route a dovetail in my shop fixtures to use with the microjig dovetail clamps and it works very very well.

I found out the hard way that 14degree bits from other manufacturers aren’t necessarily 14 degrees

I dont buy generic brand bits and stick with good brand bits as they tend to be more well made and last longer

Apparently the other bit was off by a few thou and was removing too much material
