Pros & Cons
Pros
This bit is amazing. Worth every penny to me. Well packaged.
Great carbide holds an edge a long time. No tear out, burn, or blemishing. Any imperfection in the table top are due to my lack of carpentry skill. Nice finish on the cedar.
My router is a dewalt dw-618 (2 1/4 hp) and it handled surfacing the stick with now issues at all. Using in my * 2.

Shipping
The bit arrived quickly and was in good condition.
Competitiveness
Have used other bits including amana, uxcell, freud, and yonico.
5” off an 8’x8’ slab bought three different brands other two cheap ones.

So i wanted to try building hardwood drawer fronts for this router cabinet that i was building… i just didn’t want to pay ridiculous amounts of money for wood that was precut to my specs

I decided to try making a sled for my router and use a flattening bit to mill down the wood to proper thickness and then cut my fronts
