Pros & Cons
Pros
It's a bit counter intuitive if you don't know what you are doing. The bit itself is fine and works well but qc needs to look into this. This bit works well and very versatile.
The bit comes with two different washers. You have to make sure that you don't put the wrong washer on. Kit includes a spacer for flush trimming, which is accurate.
The carbide cutting edges are very sharp and it plows through the plywood effortlessly. I'm pretty sure the one side i cut that left a little tail (easily sandable) was because of the maple plywood, not dullness.
Cons
The bearings are unusable. Not even the flush bearing is right. The shims, screw, and bearings are all soft metal and haven't held up. Most serious, the bearings are junk.
Highlights
Quality
It works well, sharp and appears sturdy.
No problem with the quality of this product.
Frued router bits are second to none.
Fairly easy to set up after the retaining bolt is loosened does a good job on hard woods without leaving ragged edge.
Price
I have always bought freud tooling when available i think they are a great value for the $
It’s a steal of a value for the uses you get from it.
Shipping
Fast easy ordering and shipping, what i needed when i needed it.
Shipping was delayed significantly over what was promised.
Arrived one week early tested it on my maloof project.
Competitiveness
And it cost much less than the competition.

There’s not a great system for keeping all of the small parts so make sure you have something in mind for that part

The screw that holds the bearing on the bit shaft was either overtightened or put in with red loctite
