Pros & Cons
Pros
Great bit. Works great, shows up as. Well worth the money. Couldn't be happier about the purchase money well spent. I was skeptical of a $20 diablo (let's be honest, it's a diablo bit.
The cutter goes straight and it doesn't care if it suddenly hits where a branch was in hardwood. It leaves a great finish even during roughing cuts. Hogs out alot of material at a time.
Cons
Too much hassle to go through process with amazon. Two efforts to reach technical support at freud were frustrated by a telephone menu as imprecise as the bit. The carbide tip on the bit separated while planning off 1/8th of an inch on its first walnu... Read More

Even using this thing properly with safety gear and a tough apron do not take this specific one lightly.
The bit was still sharp and cut 10 mortises 1 3/4 inch deep on the ends of the table.
Price
Great router bit at a great price.
Worked perfect for my application and at a reasonable price
I could use the 1/4" straight bit that came in a set of various bits costing about what this one bit costs.
And again, not saying your whole set needs to be these--they're not cheap.
Shipping
Fast delivery and the bit was exactly what i was looking for.
Rather, it is a comment on the time that elapsed between ordering it and receiving it (11 days).
But it took so long to ship that i finally gave up waiting.
Packaging/appearance
Careful opening the box and grabbing it out, as you can maybe see in other reviews people have bled themselves.
Competitiveness
I don't know of a brand that is better than freud for router bits.
The 1/2" shank transfers more power for any brand, but it's still a feature.
